In this problem we are going to consider two different examples of the dot product between two vectors, a force vec(F) and a displacement vec(r).
Part (a)
If the force vector has a magnitude of F=19N, the displacement has a length of r=0.95m, and the angle between the vectors is 45, what will the dot product between vec(F) and the vector vec(r) be? Your answer should be in joules (which is the same as newton-meters).
vec(F)*vec(r)=
J
Part (b)
If the force vector has components Fx=5.5N and Fy=14.8N, and the displacement vector has components rx=0.45m and ry=0.67m, what is the dot product between them? Enter your answer in joules.
