Question
Using Equation $(5.1 .15)$ in Problem $22,$ determine all vectors satisfying $\langle\mathbf{v}, \mathbf{v}\rangle>0 .$ Such vectors are called spacelike vectors.
Step 1
Step 1: First, we recall the definition of the pseudo inner product from Problem 22, which is given by $\langle\mathbf{v}, \mathbf{v}\rangle = v_1^2 - v_2^2$. Show more…

Using Equation (5.1.15) in Problem 22, determine all vectors satisfying $\langle\mathbf{v}, \mathbf{v}\rangle<0 .$ Such vectors are called timelike vectors.
Use the given vectors to find $\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{w}$ and $\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{v}$. $$ \mathbf{v}=5 \mathbf{i}, \quad \mathbf{w}=\mathbf{j} $$
