Paragraph for Question 17 to 19

A physical quantity which is completely specified by a number (magnitude) in terms of an
appropriate unit is known as a scalar quantity. Certain physical quantities can only be completely
specified by a number (magnitude) along with a proper unit, as well as direction such quantities
are known as vectors. The dot product of two vectors is defined as the product of the magnitude
of two vectors multiplied by the cosine of the angle between the two. Dot product between two
vectors can be positive, zero or negative according as the angle between them is acute, 90° or
obtuse. For two vectors A = A ˆi + A ˆj + A k

A  B = A xBx + A yBy + AzBz . The dot product of two vectors is the product of two quantities one of
which is the modulus of the first vector (or second) and the other is the projection of second
vector along the first (or the first vector along the second).
