Vectors are a profound invention. In science and technology, they provide a simple model for visualizing difficult concepts such as force, velocity, and electric fields. Vectors are essential to creating today's amazing computer graphics. Dot product of vectors is an operation on vectors. Some of the applications of dot product are in solar energy, physics, and computer graphics.
A few specific examples are:Measuring rainfall Finding the braking load of a car from rolling down a hill at an angleFinding the force required to hold a wagon on a hillFinding an angle of a ramp to load furniture or other articles into a truckAir navigation-finding groundspeed and direction of an airplane in the wind
Finding speed and direction of a swimmer when swimming in a river with current
You are required to:Pick a real-life application in which dot product of vector is used.Describe the application in a paragraph of at least 100 words.State which branch of science/engineering this application belongs. Write the question posed in the application that needs to be solved. Execute the dot product to solve the question posed.
Participation Requirements:Respond to two other peers' initial posts with appropriate replies using at least three sentences.State in your responses why you agree or disagree with your peers' posts.Submit application in a short paragraph of 100 words as a forum post on Questa.
Evaluation Criteria:Did you accurately describe the application?
Did you state probable solutions to all parts of the problem statement? Did you organize your information in paragraph form using at least 100 words?Did you reply to two other students' posts with appropriate replies using at least three sentences?
