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.

That's the way it is defined.


The triple product of 6a and b2?

The "triple product" is defined for vectors. You can't calculate a triple product if you don't know the components of the vectors (or some other information, that allows you to calculate those).


When you use cross product and dot product in vector?

Dot product and cross product are used in many cases in physics. Here are some examples:Work is sometimes defined as force times distance. However, if the force is not applied in the direction of the movement, the dot product should be used. Note that here - as well as in other cases where the dot product is used - the product is greatest when the angle is zero; also, the result is a scalar, not a vector.The cross product is used to define torque (distance from the axis of rotation, times force). In this case, the product is greatest when the two vectors are at right angles. Also - as in any cross product - the result is also a vector.Several interactions between electricity and magnetism are defined as cross products.


What is vector dot product?

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.


What is defined as force times distance?

Work is defined as the dot product of force times distance, or W = F * d = Fd cos (theta) where theta is the angle in between the force and distance vectors (if you are doing two dimensions). In three dimensions, use the standard definition for the dot product (using the component form of the vectors).

here are the possible answers: A) A tridimensional vector B) A 4D vector C) A 5D vector D) An scalar number E) It is undefined


What is the gradient of a dot product and how is it calculated?

The gradient of a dot product is a vector that represents the rate of change of the dot product with respect to each variable. It is calculated by taking the derivative of the dot product with respect to each variable and combining them into a vector.


What are the applications of cross product and dot product in physics?

cross: torque dot: work


Is there any direction associated with the dot product of two vectors?

No. The dot product is also called the scalar product and therein lies the clue.


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.


What is the angle in which the dot product of two non zero vectors is equal?

It depends on what the dot product is meant to be equal to.


Dot product is?

Dot product is an algebraic operation when two equal-length sequences of numbers are returned as a single number.
