Let <em>B</em> = <em>a</em> <em>i</em> + <em>b</em> <em>j</em> + <em>c</em> <em>k</em>. Then the cross product of <em>A</em> = <em>i</em> + 2<em>j</em> - <em>k</em> with <em>B</em> is

<em>A</em> × <em>B</em> = ( <em>i</em> + 2<em>j</em> - <em>k </em>) × ( <em>a</em> <em>i</em> + <em>b</em> <em>j</em> + <em>c</em> <em>k</em> )

<em>A</em> × <em>B</em>  = <em>a</em> ( <em>i</em> × <em>i</em> ) + 2<em>a</em> ( <em>j</em> × <em>i</em> ) - <em>a</em> ( <em>k</em> × <em>i </em>)

… … … + <em>b</em> ( <em>i</em> × <em>j</em> ) + 2<em>b</em> ( <em>j </em>× <em>j</em> ) - <em>b</em> ( <em>k</em> × <em>j</em> )

… … … + <em>c</em> ( <em>i</em> × <em>k</em> ) + 2<em>c</em> ( <em>j</em> × <em>k</em> ) - <em>c</em> ( <em>k</em> × <em>k</em> )

<em>A</em> × <em>B</em> = 0 - 2<em>a</em> <em>k </em>- <em>a</em> <em>j</em>

… … … + <em>b</em> <em>k</em> + 0 + <em>b</em> <em>i</em>

… … … - <em>c</em> <em>j</em> + 2<em>c</em> <em>i</em> - 0

<em>A</em> × <em>B</em> = (<em>b</em> + 2<em>c</em>) <em>i</em> + (-<em>a</em> - <em>c</em>) <em>j</em> + (<em>b</em> - 2<em>a</em>) <em>k</em>

So we have

3 <em>i</em> - <em>j</em> + 5 <em>k </em>= (<em>b</em> + 2<em>c</em>) <em>i</em> + (<em>c</em> - <em>a</em>) <em>j</em> + (<em>b</em> - 2<em>a</em>) <em>k</em>

which gives us the system of equations,

{ <em>b</em> + 2<em>c</em> = 3

{ -<em>a</em> - <em>c</em> = -1

{ -2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 5

Solve for <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, and <em>c</em>.

• Eliminate <em>c</em> from the first two equations:

(<em>b</em> + 2<em>c</em>) + 2 (-<em>a</em> - <em>c</em>) = 3 + 2 (-1)

-2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 1

But -2<em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 5, and 5 ≠ 1, so there is no such vector <em>B</em> that satisfies the cross product!

Bullets spin when shot from a rifle or handgun. What causes this spinning?
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The spark from the primer ignites the gunpowder. Gas converted from the burning powder rapidly expands in the cartridge. The expanding gas forces the bullet out of the cartridge and down the barrel with great speed. The rifling in the barrel causes the bullet to spin as it travels out of the barrel.
