Cross Product (Vector)
Key Concepts — Cross Product (Vector)
01
|A × B| = |A||B| sinθ — a vector.
02
Direction: right-hand rule, perpendicular to both A and B.
03
|A × B| equals the area of the parallelogram formed by A and B.
04
A × B = −(B × A). A × A = 0.
05
Torque τ = r × F; angular momentum L = r × p — both are cross products.
