An object with momentum p→ = ⟨4, −2, 10⟩ kg⋅m/s is acted on by a force F→ = ⟨110, 30, 80⟩ N, and your task is to calculate the parallel and perpendicular components of this force. A good check on your work is to see whether your calculated vectors for F→∥ and F→⊥ add up to F→. Also, since the angle between F→∥ and F→⊥ should be 90 degrees, F→∥⋅ F→⊥ should be zero (it won't be exactly zero, due to the finite precision of computer numbers). Calculate the component of the force that is parallel to the momentum: F→∥ = ⟨ ⟩ N

An object with momentum p = 4 , 2 , 10 k g m / s is acted on by a force F = 110 , 30 , 80 N , and your task is to calculate the parallel and perpendicular components of this force. A good check on your work is to see whether your calculated vectors for F and F add up to F . Also, since the angle between F and F should be 90 degrees, F F should be zero (it won't be exactly zero, due to the finite precision of computer numbers).
Calculate the component of the force that is parallel to the momentum:
F = i
i i > N
