The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the value of \( \vec{A} \times \vec{A} \), we will utilize the properties of the cross product of vectors. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Cross Product**: The cross product of two vectors \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \) is given by the formula: \[ \vec{A} \times \vec{B} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{B}| \sin(\theta) \hat{n} \] where \( \theta \) is the angle between the two vectors, and \( \hat{n} \) is the unit vector perpendicular to the plane formed by \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{B} \). 2. **Identifying the Vectors**: In this case, we are finding \( \vec{A} \times \vec{A} \). Here, both vectors are the same, meaning: \[ \vec{A} \text{ and } \vec{A} \text{ are parallel.} \] 3. **Determining the Angle**: The angle \( \theta \) between \( \vec{A} \) and \( \vec{A} \) is \( 0^\circ \) because they are in the same direction. 4. **Applying the Cross Product Formula**: Substituting \( \theta = 0^\circ \) into the cross product formula: \[ \vec{A} \times \vec{A} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{A}| \sin(0^\circ) \hat{n} \] 5. **Calculating the Sine of Zero**: We know that: \[ \sin(0^\circ) = 0 \] Therefore: \[ \vec{A} \times \vec{A} = |\vec{A}| |\vec{A}| \cdot 0 \cdot \hat{n} = 0 \] 6. **Conclusion**: Thus, the value of \( \vec{A} \times \vec{A} \) is: \[ \vec{A} \times \vec{A} = \vec{0} \] ### Final Answer: \[ \vec{A} \times \vec{A} = \vec{0} \]
