You are given vectors A = 4.8i - 6.3j and B = - 4.0i- 6.5j . A third vector C lies in the xy-plane. Vector C is perpendicular to vector A and the scalar product of C with B is 15.0.
Find the x-component of vector C and Find the y-component of vector C
thanks!
Another physics 111 question?
This involves dot products...
A.*C = 0
B.*C = 15
A.*C = (4.8)*x + (-6.3)*y = 0
B.*C = (-4)*x + (-6.5)*y = 15
Two equation with 2 unkowns....
A = [4.8 -6.3; -4 -6.5]
x = [x ; y]
b = [0 ; 15]
Ax = b
x = A^-1*b
x = [-1.676 ; -1.277]
C = -1.676 i - 1.277 j
