Cross product of two vectors is called vector product .Why?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand why the cross product of two vectors is called a vector product, let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Definition of Cross Product The cross product of two vectors **A** and **B**, denoted as **A** × **B**, is defined as a new vector that is perpendicular to the plane formed by the two original vectors. ### Step 2: Magnitude of the Cross Product The magnitude of the cross product is given by the formula: \[ ...

The magnitude of scalar product of two vectors is 8 and of vector product is 8sqrt(3) . The angle between them is:

For any three vectors veca,vecb,vecc their product would be a vector if one cross product is folowed by other cross product i.e (vecaxxvecb)xxvecc or (vecbxxvecc)xxveca etc. For any four vectors veca,vecb,vecc,vecd the product would be a vector with the help of sequential cross product or by cross product of two vectors obtained by corss product of two pair i.e. (vecaxx(vecbxxvecc))xxvecd or (vecaxxvecb)xx(veccxxvecd). (vecaxxvecb)xx(veccxxvecd) would be a (A) equally inclined with veca,vecb, vecc, vecd (B) perpendicular with (vecaxxvecb)xxvecc and vecc (C) equally inclined with vecaxxvecb and veccxxvecd (D) none of these

For any three vectors veca,vecb,vecc their product would be a vector if one cross product is folowed by other cross product i.e (vecaxxvecb)xxvecc or (vecbxxvecc)xxveca etc. For any four vectors veca,vecb,vecc,vecd the product would be a vector with the help of sequential cross product or by cross product of two vectors obtained by corss product of two pair i.e. (vecaxx(vecbxxvecc))xxvecd or (vecaxxvecb)xx(veccxxvecd).
