    The document provides a physics problem and solution involving position vectors. The problem asks to find the magnitude of the vector from point A to point B, given their position vectors in Cartesian coordinates as ⃗A = 1i + 2j - 2k and ⃗B = 4i + 2j - 3k. The solution finds the vector B - A, calculates its magnitude as √10, and uses the dot product of A and B to find the components of B in the direction of A as 4.67.

    Problem.

    Tow position vectors are expressed in Cartesian coordinates as


    A =1 i+2 j2 k and

    B =4 i+ 2 j3 k . Find the magnitude of the veoctor from point A to point B and the
    components of B in the direction of A.

    Solution.

    The vector from point A to point B is B A


    B A=( 4 i+2 j3 k )( 1 i+ 2 j2 k )=3 i1 k
    |B A|= 10
    The components of B in the direction of A is B cos () , from this equation
    A B= AB c os() ,
    A B 14
    Bcos ( )= = =4.67
    A 3
