    3d Angle Vector
AI Thread Summary
To find the angle between the vector 3i + j - 4k and the x-axis, the dot product method is used. The angle can be calculated using the formula cos(θ) = (A · B) / (|A| |B|), where A is the vector and B is the unit vector along the x-axis. The dot product of the two vectors is computed, and the magnitudes of the vectors are also determined. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the dot product concept for solving such problems. Overall, the method provides a clear approach to finding angles between vectors in 3D space.

Hello :- My name is Anas I'm a new member in this forum .

I have a small question

what is the angle between the vector 3i +j-4k and the x-axis ?

and please explain me what is the method of answer this question

Im sorry , I know I have many mistakes in this topic because my English language is poor

Thank you , and I wish from you to answer me very fast

Tell us what you know about the Dot product of 2 vectors.
 
I Didnt know about this
Im sorry
 
Maybe you know it as the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot_product"

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
