They are the same.
The dot-product of two vectors is the product of their magnitudes multiplied by the cosine of the angle between them. The dot-product is a scalar quantity.
If by "triple dot product" you mean u·v·w, then no, because that would imply the existence of a dot product between a vector and a scalar.
Because only the magnitudes are multiplied.
They give us different results. The dot product produces a number, while the scalar multiplication produces a vector.
As we know work done is a scalar. Also the work done is referred to as the product of force and displacement. so, we consider the dot product of force and displacement which would result in a scalar.
No. The dot product is also called the scalar product and therein lies the clue.
That's the way it is defined.
It depends on the type of product used. A dot or scalar product of two vectors will result in a scalar. A cross or vector product of two vectors will result in a vector.
Dot Products in Physics denote scalar results fmo vector products, e.g Work = F.D = FDCos(FD) a scalar result from the dot product of two vectors, F Force and D Displacement.
Yes, a scalar product can be negative if the angle between the two vectors is greater than 90 degrees. In this case, the dot product of the two vectors will be negative.
Yes, a scalar product can be negative if the angle between the two vectors is obtuse (greater than 90 degrees). The scalar product is the dot product of two vectors and is equal to the product of their magnitudes and the cosine of the angle between them. A negative scalar product indicates that the vectors are pointing in opposite directions.
Your question makes no sense I'm afraid. However the vector product that produces a scalar is the 'dot product'
