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.

Why in dot product you use cos and in vector product sin?

We use the dot product cos and in vector we use the vector product sin because of the trigonometric triangle.


How does the magnitude of a vector relate to the dot product?

The magnitude of dot product of two vectors is equal to the product of first vector to the component of second vector in the direction of first. for ex.- A.B=ABcos@


in what components dot and cross product resolve?

A dot product is a scalar product so it is a single number with only one component. A cross product or vector product is a vector which has three components like the original vectors.


Where is the resultant vector lies when dot product of two vector is done?

arithmetic mean


Is triple dot product defined?

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.


What is the product of two vector quantities?

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.


Is work is the vector product of force and distance?

Yes and no. It's the dot product, but not the cross product.


What is the dot product of two rectangular components of a vector?

a vector is a line with direction and distance. there is no answer to your question. the dot is the angular relationship between two vectors.


Dot product of unit vectors of cartesian and cylindrical coordinate system?

Unit vectors are perpendicular. Their dot product is zero. That means that no unit vector has any component that is parallel to another unit vector.


Is it possible to multiply a vector quantity to a scalar quantity?

The product of scalar and vector quantity is scalar.

Your question makes no sense I'm afraid. However the vector product that produces a scalar is the 'dot product'
