Recall the definition of the cross product with respect to the unit vectors:

i × i = j × j = k × k = 0

i × j = k

j × k = i

k × i = j

and that the product is anticommutative, so that for any two vectors u and v, we have u × v = - (v × u). (This essentially takes care of part (b).)

Now, given a = 8i + j - 2k and b = 5i - 3j + k, we have

a × b = (8i + j - 2k) × (5i - 3j + k)

a × b = 40 (i × i) + 5 (j × i) - 10 (k × i)

… … … … - 24 (i × j) - 3 (j × j) + 6 (k × j)

… … … … + 8 (i × k) + (j × k) - 2 (k × k)

a × b = - 5 (i × j) - 10 (k × i) - 24 (i × j) - 6 (j × k) - 8 (k × i) + (j × k)

a × b = - 5k - 10j - 24k - 6i - 8j + i

a × b = -5i - 18j - 29k

a crane lifts a 75 kg mass at a height of 8m. calculate the gravitational potential energy gained by the mass (g= 10N)
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

6000 J

Explanation:

Potential energy = mass*gravity*height (U = m*g*h)

In this case g = 10 so

U = 75*10*8 = 6000 J (joules) [kg * m^2/s^2]

GIVING BRAINLY AND THIS IS A BASKETBALL QUESTION
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Jump Ball; used to start the game. The referee throws the ball up in the air, above two members of opposite teams, who have to jump up to try and tap the ball towards one of their teammates.

Assist: a pass made from one player to another, that directly leads to making a basket. For a pass to count as an assist, the ball has to be passed directly to the played who scores, and points must be earned.

Steal: when a defensive player intercepts the ball from an offensive player.

Lay Up: a shot made from below, by running up to the basket from the side, jumping, and bouncing the ball off of the backboard, into the basket.

Technical Foul: a foul given for "unsportsmanlike behaviour", such as making fun of an opponent.
