A dot A = A2

do a derivative of both sides

derivative (A) dot A + A dot derivative(A) =0

2(derivative (A) dot A)=0

(derivative (A) dot A)=0

A * derivative (A) * cos (theta) =0

=> theta =90

A and derivative (A) are perpendicular

How does calculus help us?

It is used in physics all the time. For example, acceleration is the derivative of velocity which is a derivative of position with respect to time. Calculating the amount of work done in a vector field (like an electrical field) also uses calculus.


Center of curvature in differential calculus?

Center of curvature = r(t) + (1/k)(unit inward Normal) k = curvature Unit inward normal = vector perpendicular to unit tangent r(t) = position vector


How does vector calculus applies to electromagnetism?

Vectors are directional numbers. Calculus determines changes. Electromagnetism involves directional fields and thus vector calculus is the tool to calculate the changes in directional fields.The training in Mathematics and Physics is deficient in that Nature involves the combination of real and vector numbers called Quaternions. Quaternions were invented by William Rowan Hamilton in 1843. Quaternions consist of a real number r and three vectors (i,j,k) such that i2 = j2 = k2 = ijk = -1.A quaternion point is p=r + ix +jy + kz= r + v where v is the vector part.Quaternion calculus has a derivative I call X for Khepra which consists of Hamilton's vector derivative called Del = id/dx + j d/dy + kd/dz and a real derivative d/dr = d/cdt .X= d/dr + Del = d/dr + id/dx + jd/dy + kd/dz = d/cdt + Del = [d/dr,Del]Using this quaternion derivative the fundamental laws of electromagnetism can be derived as th Boundary Condition, 0= XE where E is the quaternion electric field E=Er + Ev = [Er,Ev].The First Derivative of the Electric field isXE= (dEr/cdt - Del.Ev) + (dEv/cdt + DelxEv + Del Er)The Equilibrium Condition for the Electric field occurs when the the First Derivative is set to zero:0=XE= (dBr/dt - Del.Ev) + (dBv/dt + Del Er)This is the Quaternion Equilibrium Condition Equation, notice that the Curl Term DelxEv =0 and is not in the equation. The curl is zero at Equilibrium and the remaining vector terms are "Equal and Opposite"! Equilibrium requires that the sum of the reals and vectors sum to zero. The vectors cannot sum to zero unless DelxEv=0, this happens only when the other terms are parallel or anti-parallel. Equilibrium is the anti-parallel case, thus Newton's "Equal and Opposite" Rule in his 3rd law of Motion.This Equilibrium Condition is the Stationary and Invariant Condition and the Cauchy-Riemann Continutiy Condition.Maxwell's EquationsdBr/dt - Del.Ev=0dBv/dt + DelxEv=0are incorrect in including DelxEv, it should be Del Er. DelxEv is perpendicular to dBv/dt =dEv/cdt. Vector Calculus shows DelxEv is perpendicular to dEv/dr, thus the sum of orthogonal vectors is not zero unless both vectors are zero.This shows that Maxwell's Equations are incorrect and the proper Electromagnetism Equations are derived by Quaternion Calculus.

Prove that if vector A has constant magnitude then its derivative is perpendicular to vector A?

If vector A has constant magnitude, then its derivative will be tangent to the direction of vector A. Since the derivative is perpendicular to the tangent vector, it will be perpendicular to vector A. This is because the derivative represents the rate of change of vector A with respect to time, which is perpendicular to the direction of a vector with constant magnitude.


What are physical examples of vectors which are perpendicular to their derivatives?

One physical example of a vector perpendicular to its derivative is angular momentum in the case of rotational motion. The angular momentum vector is perpendicular to the angular velocity vector, which is the derivative of the angular displacement vector. Another example is velocity and acceleration in circular motion, where velocity is perpendicular to acceleration at any given point on the circular path.

That is not even true!


What is a perpendicular vector?

A perpendicular vector is a vector that forms a right angle (90 degrees) with another vector in a given space. This means that the dot product of two perpendicular vectors is zero, indicating that they are orthogonal to each other.

A vedtor which is perpendicular to every vector?

The zero vector is not perpendicular to all vectors, but it is orthogonal to all vectors.


Why is the acceleration vector is always at 90 degrees to the velocity vector?

The acceleration vector is perpendicular (90 degrees) to the velocity vector when the speed is constant and the direction is changing. This is because acceleration affects the change in velocity, not the velocity itself. If the acceleration were in the same direction as the velocity, the speed would increase, not the change in direction.


Is vector A parallel vector B given that vector A is equal to the zero vector and vector B is equal to the zero vector?

The zero vector is both parallel and perpendicular to any other vector. V.0 = 0 means zero vector is perpendicular to V and Vx0 = 0 means zero vector is parallel to V.


Is curl of vector function F must perpendicular to every vector function f?

No, the curl of a vector field is a vector field itself and is not required to be perpendicular to every vector field f. The curl is related to the local rotation of the vector field, not its orthogonality to other vector fields.
