The product of two scalar quantities is a scalar, and the product of a scalar with a vector is a vector, but what about the product of two vectors? Is it a scalar, or another vector? The answer is, it could be either! There are two ways to take a vector product. One is by...
Vector Cross ProductUnlike the scalar product, both the two operands and the result of the cross product are vectors. The vector cross product has some useful properties, it produces a vector which is mutually perpendicular to the two vectors being multiplied. ...
Scalar tells the magnitude or how fast the car is moving. Velocity is a vector quantity that describes the magnitude and tells the direction of where the car is going. Therefore, a vector, by definition, is a physical quantity with both magnitude and direction. Other scalars and vector pairs...
(The cross product of two vectors is a vector, so each of these products results in the zero vector, not the scalar 0.) It’s up to you to verify the calculations on your own.Furthermore, because the cross product of two vectors is orthogonal to each of these vectors, we know that...

The lesson explores the product of a vector by a scalar, the dot or scalar product, and the cross product. Formulas, examples, properties, and...
When Vorticity confinement force is described, it's always written as follows: with: ( Source: http://http.developer.nvidia.com/GPUGems/gpugems_ch38.html#ch38equ20 ) In the 2D case: how can i compute the cross product (ψ x w) ? Isn't ψ a vector (the gradient of a scalar fi...
right-hand rule for vector cross productThe ordinary, or dot, product of two vectors is simply a one-dimensional number, or scalar. In contrast, the cross product of two vectors results in another vector whose direction is orthogonal to both of the original vectors, as illustrated by the rig...
There aretheoretical reasonswhy the cross product (as an orthogonal vector) is only available in 0, 1, 3 or 7 dimensions. However, the cross product as a single number is essentially the determinant (a signed area, volume, or hypervolume as a scalar). ...
Cross Product of Vectors Create two 3-D vectors. Get A = [4 -2 1]; B = [1 -1 3]; Find the cross product ofAandB. The result,C, is a vector that is perpendicular to bothAandB. Get C = cross(A,B) C =1×3-5 -11 -2 ...
