Question

when do we use cross product and scalar product ?​

Answer 1

$<b>When you deal with vectors, sometimes you say to yourself, "Darn I wish there was a function that..." was zero when two vectors are perpendicular, letting me test perpendicularness." Dot Product would let me find the angle between two vectors." Dot Product (actually gives the cosine of the angle between two normalized vectors) would let me 'project' one vector onto another, or give the length of one vector in the direction of another." Dot Product could tell me how much force is actually helping the object move, when pushing at an angle." Dot Product could tell me how much a vector field is 'spreading out'." Cross Product could give me a vector that is perpendicular to two other vectors." Cross Product could tell me how much torque a force was applying to a rotating system." Cross Product could tell me how much this vector field is 'curling' up." Cross Product There are actually a lot more uses, but the more I study vectors, the more and more I run into a situation where I need a function to do exactly something, and then realize that the cross/dot products already did exactly what I needed!$

Answer 2

We use cross or vector product between two vector quantities and the result is a vector while scalar or dot product is used in multiplying two scalar quantities which gives a scalar quantity.

You can use cross product between a scalar and a vector quantity to get a vector such as acceleration =velocity x time

Here, time is scalar but the result of cross product will always be a vector and same is the case with scalar product.
