The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the cross product of two vectors, \( \vec{a_1} \) and \( \vec{a_2} \), where \( \vec{a_1} \) is the component of vector \( \vec{a} \) along vector \( \vec{b} \), and \( \vec{a_2} \) is the component of vector \( \vec{a} \) that is perpendicular to \( \vec{b} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Find \( \vec{a_1} \)**: The component of vector \( \vec{a} \) along vector \( \vec{b} \) can be calculated using the formula: \[ \vec{a_1} = \left( \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|^2} \right) \vec{b} \] 2. **Find \( \vec{a_2} \)**: The component of vector \( \vec{a} \) that is perpendicular to vector \( \vec{b} \) can be calculated as: \[ \vec{a_2} = \vec{a} - \vec{a_1} \] Substituting \( \vec{a_1} \) from step 1: \[ \vec{a_2} = \vec{a} - \left( \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|^2} \right) \vec{b} \] 3. **Compute \( \vec{a_1} \times \vec{a_2} \)**: Now, we need to find the cross product \( \vec{a_1} \times \vec{a_2} \): \[ \vec{a_1} \times \vec{a_2} = \left( \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|^2} \vec{b} \right) \times \left( \vec{a} - \left( \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|^2} \right) \vec{b} \right) \] 4. **Simplify the Cross Product**: Using the distributive property of the cross product: \[ \vec{a_1} \times \vec{a_2} = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|^2} \left( \vec{b} \times \vec{a} \right) - \frac{(\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b})^2}{|\vec{b}|^4} \left( \vec{b} \times \vec{b} \right) \] Since \( \vec{b} \times \vec{b} = 0 \), we have: \[ \vec{a_1} \times \vec{a_2} = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|^2} \left( \vec{b} \times \vec{a} \right) \] 5. **Final Result**: Therefore, the result of \( \vec{a_1} \times \vec{a_2} \) is: \[ \vec{a_1} \times \vec{a_2} = \frac{\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}}{|\vec{b}|^2} (\vec{b} \times \vec{a}) \]
