Question 1

If a vector (2, 0, 0) is rotated 90 degrees around the z-axis, what will be its new coordinates?

💡 Hint: Use the rotation matrix: R = [[0, -1, 0], [1, 0, 0], [0, 0, 1]].

Question 2

Consider a 3D object being rotated in a simulation. How can rotation tensors ensure that its size remains consistent?

💡 Hint: Reflect on the properties of orthonormal matrices.
