    Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.
    For free. For everyone. Forever. #YouCanLearnAnything

      ​@@mohammedadil7170no. Schools just pick the topic do it for a bit and move on to the next. To really understand it we need to do more selfstudy and practice stuff like questions. Schools doesn't have time to do all this and cover the entire syllabi, at least the way they go now. It's up to us. Also it's also depending on the teacher. Some teachers really have a way to make students understand thing by making sense out of things.

    Hey Sal, at minute 1:04 you say that order does not matter when you multiply two vectors together in a dot product. I Know we get the same magnitude, but wouldn't the direction run in the opposite direction.

    • @carultch
      @carultch 2 роки тому

      Order doesn't matter with the dot product, because all you do is multiply corresponding components, and then add them. Ax*Bx + Ay*By + Az*Bz is exactly the same as Bx*Ax + By*Ay + Bz*Az. There are no non-commutative processes in the dot product.
      The cross product by contrast, is where order matters. A cross B = negative B cross A.

  • @muhammadzahir7931

    geometric algebra interpretation is much, much better. (a b) = (a . b) + (a ^ b) = |a||b|cos[theta] + i * |a||b|sin[theta] .... the cross product is a bad interpretation of wedge product.... (a ^ b) = i (a x b), where the cross-product obscures the fact that ordinary multiplication is related to complex exponentials.

    • @carultch
      @carultch 2 роки тому

      Dot product = a product of two vectors and a measure of how aligned they are.
      Cross product = a product of two vectors, a measure of how crossed they are, expressed as a vector that is perpendicular to both of the original vectors.

      It isn't equal in the sense that the resulting vector product will be in the opposite direction (180°), otherwise the value will be the same.

    Are you starting with an assumption that we are talking vectors? I thought dot product was like this: I walk a mile in an hour, how many miles can I walk in 3 hours? Scaler times a "thing" of some kind (dot product, a quantity). Cross product: basic electricity, V=IR. Suddenly two "things" are being multiplied together (current and resistence). Commonly, vector abstraction comes later. Isn't that the essential weirdness of reality, the cross product, emergence of a new "quality"?
