Is it possible that the scalar product of two vectors is negative ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine if the scalar product (or dot product) of two vectors can be negative, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definition of Scalar Product The scalar product (or dot product) of two vectors **A** and **B** is given by the formula: \[ \mathbf{A} \cdot \mathbf{B} = |\mathbf{A}| |\mathbf{B}| \cos \theta \] where: - \( |\mathbf{A}| \) is the magnitude of vector **A**, - \( |\mathbf{B}| \) is the magnitude of vector **B**, ...
