Question

State any four characteristics of vector product of vectors in physics ?

Answer 1

Characteristics of cross product are:
(i) Cross product of two vectors is anti commutative.
(ii) Cross product of two vectors is equal to the area of parallelogram formed by two vectors. (iii) Area of triangle formed by two vectors and their resultant is equal to half the magnitude of cross product.

Answer 2

The cross product, also described as the vector product, is execution on two vectors. The cross product of two vectors generates a third vector which is vertical to the plane in which both of the planes lies. Therefore for the cross of two vectors, A and B,  so that their extremities are at a general point.

Properties of the cross product are:

(i) vector product of two vectors is anti commutative.

(ii) Vector product of two vectors is equivalent to the region of the parallelogram composed by two vectors

(iii) Area of the triangle created by two vectors and their resultant is equivalent to half the measurement of the vector product.
