Right Hand Rule for Vectors: Solutions

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the application of the Right Hand Rule for determining vector directions in three different situations. The user provided answers for positive and negative orientations of vectors in each scenario, specifically identifying +x and -x for Situation (1), +z and -z for Situations (2) and (3). The responses were confirmed as correct by other forum participants, validating the user's understanding of vector orientation using the Right Hand Rule.

Just wanted to check my answers
 
Physics news on Phys.org
they are correct
 
Thanks just wanted someone to double check my work.
