   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Compute the cross product using the determinant formula; since both vectors have zero $\hat k$-component, only the $\hat k$ term survives.

   $(2\hat i+3\hat j)\times(\hat i+2\hat j) = \begin{vmatrix} \hat i & \hat j & \hat k \\ 2 & 3 & 0 \\ 1 & 2 & 0 \end{vmatrix}$

   Q.If $|\vec{a}| = 13$, $|\vec{b}| = 5$ and $\vec{a}\cdot\vec{b} = 60^\circ$, then $|\vec{a}\times\vec{b}|$ is:

   (a) 45

   (b) 15

   (c) 25

   (d) 35

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   With $\vec a\cdot\vec b=60$, $|\vec a|=13$, $|\vec b|=5$, we get $\cos\theta=60/65=12/13$, so $\sin\theta=5/13$, giving $|\vec a\times\vec b|=65\times5/13=25$.

   Given $|\vec a|=13$, $|\vec b|=5$, and $\vec a\cdot\vec b=60$ (this is read as the dot-product value between the two vectors, since a dot product cannot equal an angle in degrees).

   Since $\vec a\cdot\vec b=|\vec a||\vec b|\cos\theta$: $60=13\times5\times\cos\theta=65\cos\theta \Rightarrow \cos\theta=\dfrac{60}{65}=\dfrac{12}{13}$.

   Q.$(\vec{i} \times \vec{j}) + (\vec{i} \times \vec{i}) =$

   (a) $2$

   (b) $1$

   (c) $\vec{k}$

   (d) $-\vec{k}$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The cross product of a vector with itself is zero, so the result is $\vec{k}$.

   By the cyclic rule $\vec{i}\times\vec{j}=\vec{k}$, and any vector crossed with itself is the zero vector, so $\vec{i}\times\vec{i}=\vec{0}$.

   Q.If |a⃗|=4, |b⃗|=2√3, |a⃗×b⃗|=12 then the angle between the vectors a⃗ and b⃗ is

   (a) π/3

   (b) π/6

   (c) π/4

   (d) π/2

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Use $|\vec a\times\vec b| = |\vec a||\vec b|\sin\theta$ to solve for $\theta$.

   The magnitude of the cross product satisfies $|\vec a\times\vec b| = |\vec a||\vec b|\sin\theta$, where $\theta$ is the angle between the vectors.

   $12 = (4)(2\sqrt3)\sin\theta = 8\sqrt3\,\sin\theta$

   $\sin\theta = \frac{12}{8\sqrt3} = \frac{3}{2\sqrt3} = \frac{\sqrt3}{2}$

   (d) $\vec{k}$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   By the right-hand rule $\vec{k}\times\vec{j} = -\vec{i}$; none of the four printed options matches this, so the question as printed is defective.

   Using the cyclic rule $\vec{i}\times\vec{j} = \vec{k}$, $\vec{j}\times\vec{k} = \vec{i}$, $\vec{k}\times\vec{i} = \vec{j}$, and the anti-commutativity $\vec{b}\times\vec{a} = -(\vec{a}\times\vec{b})$:

   $\vec{k}\times\vec{j} = -(\vec{j}\times\vec{k}) = -\vec{i}.$ …
