If the angle between the vectors A and B is , the value of the product ( B A ) A is equal to
Options
- AB A^2
- BB A^2
- CB A^2
- Dzero
Correct answer
D. zero
Step-by-step solution
( B A ) A aligned & =B A n A & =0 aligned Here n is perpendicular to both A and B . Alternative : ( B A ) A Interchange the cross and dot, we have, ( B A ) A = B ( A A )=0 ( A A =0) NOTE: The volume of a parallelopiped bounded by vectors A , A and A can be obtained by giving formula ( A A ) A
