Function |
Description |
|
= |
Use to enter variable values |
|
A to E |
Refers vector variables A to E |
|
{xyz} |
Rectangular notation of vectors. Use to enter vectors. |
|
|A| |
VMag(A) returns the magnitude of vector A. |
|
aby |
VDirection(A) returns the
direction angles to x, y and z-axis of vector A. |
|
[x] |
Get x-coordinate of vector. Use: A[0,1] will give Ax |
|
[y] |
Get y-coordinate of vector. Use: A[0,2] will give Ay |
|
[z] |
Get z-coordinate of vector. Use: A[0,3] will give Az |
|
rθ>R |
VRect(r,θ)
returns the x,y,z-coordinates of the vector given by magnitude r and angle (to
x-axis) θ.
Caution: z is always 0 as r,θ describe a 2D-vector! |
|
θ |
VTheta(A) returns
the xy-plane projected angle of vector A to the x-axis. θ
corresponds to the angle of 2D-polar notation. |
|
<AB |
VPhi(A,B) returns the angle between vectors A and B. |
|
A.B |
VDot(A,B) returns the scalar dot product of vectors A and B. (This
means the area between A and B) |
|
A×B |
VCross(A,B) returns the vector cross product of vectors A and B. |
|
ABC |
VTriple(A,B,C) returns the scalar triple product of vectors A,B and C.
(This means the volume between A,B and C) |
|
A¹ |
VUnit(A) returns a unit vector in direction of vector A. |
|
Drw |
VDraw(A,B,..) draws a 2D-Plot of the given vectors. |
|
Set |
