Show hintHide hint
Think about the angle between the vectors.
Question 2.
What do we call a set of vectors that are all orthogonal and have unit length?
Show hintHide hint
Starts with 'o'.
3Question 3.
What does it mean for two vectors to be orthogonal?
- They have the same direction
- Their inner product is zero
- They are parallel
Show hintHide hint
Think about the angles between them.
4Question 4.
True or False: An orthonormal set can consist of vectors that are not unit vectors.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the definition of orthonormality.
Question 5.
Given the vectors u = (1, 2) and v = (3, 4), determine if they are orthogonal and convert them into an orthonormal set.
Show hintHide hint
Check the inner product first before proceeding to the Gram-Schmidt process.
Question 6.
Explain how deriving an orthonormal set can lead to simplifications in a finite element model for structural analysis.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how calculations are interconnected and reliant on the system of vectors.
