NEET Physics Scalar & Vector Products Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The scalar product of two vectors is a scalar quantity. | Reason (R): The scalar product is defined as the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false but R is true.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The scalar product, also known as the dot product, is calculated as the product of the magnitudes of two vectors and the cosine of the angle between them, resulting in a scalar quantity.
