Assessment for Learning: Self-

evaluation
Lesson 17: Applications of vector multiplication

Vector multiplication
You are getting close to the end of this course. This is your final Assessment for Learning, which is
used to determine where you are in your learning, where you need to go, and how best to get there.
For this Assessment for Learning, instead of the teacher providing feedback on your work, you get
to be the assessor and provide a self-evaluation.

There are four Tasks in this Assessment for Learning.

Task 1: Knowledge and Understanding questions

1. Find the angle between vectors a⃗ = (7, 1, –2) and b ⃗ = (5, 4, 4). (5 marks)
2. Find the cross product of u⃗ =(–2, 3, –4) and v ⃗ =(1, –4, 5). (4 marks)
3. Given two vectors, u⃗ = (5, –1, 5) and v ⃗ = (–4, 5, 2), find the projection of u⃗ on v ⃗ in Cartesian form. (4
marks)
4. Find the volume of a parallelepiped defined by vectors u⃗ = (3, 4, –2), v ⃗ = (0, 2, 3), and w⃗ = (–2, 0, –
4). (4 marks)

Task 2: Thinking questions

5. Given u⃗ = (8, –2, 4), v ⃗ = (–4, 6, 11), and w⃗ = (–23, –52, 20), demonstrate that u⃗ , v ,⃗  and w⃗ are all
perpendicular to each other. (7 marks)
6. Given the points A(3, –1, 4), B(2, –3, 6), and C(–2, 5, 4), determine a vector that is perpendicular to
−
−→ −
−→
both AB and BC . (6 marks)
7. Determine whether the angle between each of the following pairs of vectors is acute, obtuse, or
neither. (4 marks: 2 marks each)
a. a⃗  = (5, 3) b ⃗ = (–2, 4)
b. p ⃗ = (6, –1, 4) q ⃗ = (5, 0, –8)

Task 3: Communication questions

8. In your own words, define the commutative property for multiplication. Describe how this property
applies to the dot product and cross product of vectors. Give an example for each. (7 marks)
9. Describe how the dot product can be used to determine whether two vectors are parallel. Create an
example in 3-space to illustrate this property. (6 marks)

a. work
b. the associative law

Task 4: Application questions

11. Calculate the area of triangle P QR, which has vertices of P (1, 4, –1), Q(–3, 2, 1) and R(3, 4, 6). (7
marks)
12. A box is pushed 8 m up a ramp by a 25 N force. The ramp is inclined at an angle of 15°. Calculate
the work done in this scenario. Round your answer to one decimal place. (3 marks)

13. a. Find the torque produced when a 45 N force is applied at the end of a 35 cm wrench at an
angle of 50° to the horizontal. Round your answer to one decimal place. (3 marks)

b. What is the maximum torque that can be applied to the wrench by a 45 N force? Round your
answer to one decimal place. (3 marks)

Feedback
Since you are the assessor, you will mark your answers using the Lesson 17 assessment suggested
answers (/applications/asset.php?id=14101) and provide the feedback through a rubric. You must
complete the rubric in order to proceed with the course.

When using the rubric, ask yourself what comments you would make if you had never seen this
assignment before. What are its strengths? What areas need improvement? What steps should you
take before submitting another assignment like this one?

Pay careful attention to the following rubric. Select the phrases that best describe your assignment.
