Worked practice questions

As per your syllabus, A · B equals which expression?

  1. A B (no factor)
  2. A B cos θ
  3. A B sin θ
  4. A B tan θ
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. A B cos θ

Your syllabus: scalar (dot) product A · B = AB cos θ. Maximum at θ = 0; zero at θ = 90°.

As per your syllabus, the dot product of two PERPENDICULAR vectors is which value?

  1. Equal to product of magnitudes
  2. Equal to half the product
  3. Zero
  4. Negative product
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Zero

Your syllabus: cos 90° = 0 ⇒ A · B = 0. Hence i·j = j·k = k·i = 0 for unit vectors.

As per your syllabus, î · î (dot product of a unit vector with itself) equals which value?

  1. -1
  2. 1
  3. 0
  4. 2
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. 1

Your syllabus: cos 0° = 1 and magnitudes are 1, so î·î = ĵ·ĵ = k̂·k̂ = 1.
