If I=RxP (all three are vectors with arrows over them). R is the linear velocity and P is angular momentum then I is _____?
If I=RxP (all three are vectors with arrows over them). R is the linear velocity and P is angular momentum then I is _____?
Explanation
If the equation I = R × P is given, where all three variables (I, R, and P) are vectors with arrows over them,
and "R" represents the linear velocity
"P" represents angular momentum,
then "I" represents the vector cross product of R and P.
To calculate the cross product of R and P, you can use the right-hand rule:
1. Place your right hand with your fingers in the direction of R.
2. Curl your fingers towards the direction of P.
3. Your thumb will then point in the direction of the resulting vector I.
