Final answer:
The dot product of two nonzero vectors pointing in the same direction is not zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement is not correct. If two nonzero vectors point in the same direction, their dot product should not be zero. The dot product of two vectors is defined as the product of their magnitudes and the cosine of the angle between them.
If the vectors point in the same direction, the angle between them is 0 degrees. The cosine of 0 degrees is 1, so the dot product of the vectors will be equal to the product of their magnitudes. It will not be zero.
Therefore, the correct statement is that if two nonzero vectors point in the opposite directions, their dot product is equal to zero.
