What am I missing? Although this post is very useful for explaining the logic behind cross products What is the logic/rationale behind the vector cross product?, it didn't contain enough relevant …

Jun 14, 2013 · The cross-product is then orthogonal to $\mathbf {a}$ and $\mathbf {b}$, roughly, because the direction perpendicular to both vectors is the one that maximizes the volume.

Jul 20, 2010 · What purposes do the Dot and Cross products serve? Do you have any clear examples of when you would use them?

Oct 21, 2020 · How does this result in a vector with the geometric properties of the cross-product? To begin, I claim that the "natural" form of the cross-product is not that of a vector, but instead …

Dec 28, 2023 · When I calculate a cross product of two vectors in Cartesian coordinates, I calculate something that seems like the determinant of a 2x2 matrix. Is there any connection …

What is the vector cross product in $2D$ ? Its not even defined there, so what is going on ? If the cross product is used so extensively why is it called as "mathematical hack" ? Everyone …

Dec 7, 2013 · As you note, each coordinate of the cross product is the (signed) area of the parallelogram spanned by the projections of $\bf {v}$ and $\bf {w}$ to each coordinate plane …

In cross product the angle between must be greater than 0 and less than 180 degree it is max at 90 degree. let take the example of torque if the angle between applied force and moment arm …

Mar 22, 2019 · Point for you to ponder on - the cross product of two vectors gives a third vector, perpendicular to the original two vectors. Could you define a (meaningful) cross product in R^2 …
