Practice mode Vectors and Equilibrium

The scalar product A·B of two non-zero vectors is negative. What can be said about the angle θ between them?

Correct answer D. 90° < θ ≤ 180°

Explanation

A·B = AB cos θ and magnitudes are positive, so the sign comes from cos θ, which is negative only for angles greater than 90° and up to 180°.
