Question

Can you cross product a scalar and a vector?


Open in App
Solution

Cross product :

A cross product can be applied only on two vectors, it cannot be applied to a scalar and a vector.

A×B=|A||B|sinθn^

where, A=Length of vector A

B=Length of vector B

θ=Angle between A and B

n^=Unit vector perpendicular to the plane containing A and B

A and B cannot be a scalar

Hence, we cannot cross product a scalar and a vector.
