Aerospace | A scalar equal to the product of the magnitudes of any two vectors and the cosine of the angle ? between their positive directions. Also called dot product, direct product, inner product. See vector product. For two vectors A and B, the scalar product is most commonly written A . B, read A dot B, and occasionally as (AB). If the vectors A and B have the components Ax, Bx, Ay, By, and Az, Bz along rectangular Cartesian, x, y, and z axes, respectively, then A . B = AxBx + AyBy + AzBz = |A||B|cos? = AB cos?If a scalar product is zero, one of the vectors is zero or else the two are perpendicular. (references) |
Electrical Engineering | A scalar quantity P defined by using cartesian co-ordinates a)in an n-dimensional euclidian space, by the sum of the products of each component ai of the first quantity and the corresponding component bi of the second; b)in a three-dimensional space, by the product of the magnitudes of the two quantities and the cosine of the angle phi between them.
