In words, the scalar product of two vectors can be thought of as the product of the magnitude of ~a with the magnitude of the pr
ojection of ~b onto the direction of ~a. It is used to calculate the product of vector quantities when only the parallel components of each vector contribute (e.g., Work = Force • Displacement). Let ~a = h9, 6.75, 0i and ~b = h2.97, 6.075, 0i. Calculate ~a • ~b.
