The vector product of two vectors is a zero vector ? What does it imply ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the implications of the vector product (or cross product) of two vectors being equal to the zero vector. Let's break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Understand the Vector Product The vector product (or cross product) of two vectors **A** and **B** is defined as: \[ \mathbf{A} \times \mathbf{B} = |\mathbf{A}| |\mathbf{B}| \sin(\theta) \hat{n} \] where: ...
