Vedclass · Answer

(A) Given $\overrightarrow{u}=\overrightarrow{a}-\overrightarrow{b}$ and $\overrightarrow{v}=\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b}$.We calculate the cross product: $\overrightarrow{u} 	imes \overrightarrow{v} = (\overrightarrow{a}-\overrightarrow{b}) 	imes (\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b})$.Using the distributive property of the cross product: $\overrightarrow{u} 	imes \overrightarrow{v} = \overrightarrow{a} 	imes \overrightarrow{a} + \overrightarrow{a} 	imes \overrightarrow{b} - \overrightarrow{b} 	imes \overrightarrow{a} - \overrightarrow{b} 	imes \overrightarrow{b}$.Since $\overrightarrow{a} 	imes \overrightarrow{a} = 0$ and $\overrightarrow{b} 	imes \overrightarrow{b} = 0$, and $\overrightarrow{b} 	imes \overrightarrow{a} = -(\overrightarrow{a} 	imes \overrightarrow{b})$, we get:$\overrightarrow{u} 	imes \overrightarrow{v} = 0 + \overrightarrow{a} 	imes \overrightarrow{b} + \overrightarrow{a} 	imes \overrightarrow{b} - 0 = 2(\overrightarrow{a} 	imes \overrightarrow{b})$.Taking the magnitude: $|\overrightarrow{u} 	imes \overrightarrow{v}| = 2|\overrightarrow{a} 	imes \overrightarrow{b}|$.Using the identity $|\overrightarrow{a} 	imes \overrightarrow{b}|^2 = |\overrightarrow{a}|^2 |\overrightarrow{b}|^2 - (\overrightarrow{a} \cdot \overrightarrow{b})^2$:$|\overrightarrow{a} 	imes \overrightarrow{b}| = \sqrt{|\overrightarrow{a}|^2 |\overrightarrow{b}|^2 - (\overrightarrow{a} \cdot \overrightarrow{b})^2}$.Given $|\overrightarrow{a}| = 2$ and $|\overrightarrow{b}| = 2$, then $|\overrightarrow{a}|^2 = 4$ and $|\overrightarrow{b}|^2 = 4$.Thus, $|\overrightarrow{a} 	imes \overrightarrow{b}| = \sqrt{4 	imes 4 - (\overrightarrow{a} \cdot \overrightarrow{b})^2} = \sqrt{16 - (\overrightarrow{a} \cdot \overrightarrow{b})^2}$.Therefore, $|\overrightarrow{u} 	imes \overrightarrow{v}| = 2 \sqrt{16 - (\overrightarrow{a} \cdot \overrightarrow{b})^2}$.

If $\overrightarrow{u}=\overrightarrow{a}-\overrightarrow{b}$, $\overrightarrow{v}=\overrightarrow{a}+\overrightarrow{b}$, $|\overrightarrow{a}|=|\overrightarrow{b}|=2$, then $|\overrightarrow{u} \times \overrightarrow{v}|$ is equal to
