Vedclass · Answer

(A) If two vectors $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B}$ are mutually perpendicular,the angle $	heta$ between them is $90^{\circ}$.The scalar product (dot product) of two vectors is given by the formula $\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = AB \cos 	heta$.Substituting $	heta = 90^{\circ}$ into the formula,we get $\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = AB \cos 90^{\circ}$.Since $\cos 90^{\circ} = 0$,the scalar product becomes $\vec{A} \cdot \vec{B} = AB 	imes 0 = 0$.Therefore,the scalar product of two mutually perpendicular vectors is $0$.
