Question 1

What is a Vector Cross Product?

Accepted Answer

The cross product A×B of two 3D vectors produces a new vector perpendicular to both. Its magnitude equals the area of the parallelogram spanned by the two vectors. Direction follows the right-hand rule.

Question 2

How does the Vector Cross Product work?

Accepted Answer

A×B = [a₂b₃−a₃b₂, a₃b₁−a₁b₃, a₁b₂−a₂b₁] Then: Magnitude: |A×B| = |A||B|sin(θ) Then: A×B = −(B×A) (anti-commutative).

Question 3

Can you give an example of how to use the Vector Cross Product?

Accepted Answer

Example: Input A=[1,0,0] · B=[0,1,0] gives a result of A×B = [0,0,1] (unit z-vector) (x̂ × ŷ = ẑ by right-hand rule).
