Differbetween
A dot product is the product of the magnitude of the vectors and the cos of the angle between them. A cross product is the product of the magnitude of the vectors and the sine of the angle that they subtend on each other. The resultant of the dot product of the vectors is a scalar quantity.

What is the meaning of dot product and cross product?
The dot product and cross product are methods of relating two vectors to one another. The dot product is a scalar representation of two vectors, and it is used to find the angle between two vectors in any dimensional space. ... For vectors and , the cross product is , which is the determinate of a three-by-three matrix.
What is meant by cross product?
The cross product a × b is defined as a vector c that is perpendicular (orthogonal) to both a and b, with a direction given by the right-hand rule and a magnitude equal to the area of the parallelogram that the vectors span.
How do you find the cross product and dot product?
- The Dot and Cross Product.
- The Dot Product.
- Examples:
- Exercise. Find the dot product of. 2i + j - k and i + 2j.
- The Angle Between Two Vectors.
- Example. To find the angle between. v = 2i + 3j + k. and. w = 4i + j + 2k. we compute: and. and. v . w = 8 + 3 + 2 = 13. Hence.
- Direction Angles.
- Work.
What is purpose of dot product?
The dot product tells you what amount of one vector goes in the direction of another. ... So the dot product in this case would give you the amount of force going in the direction of the displacement, or in the direction that the box moved.
What is the dot product used for?
The dot product essentially tells us how much of the force vector is applied in the direction of the motion vector. The dot product can also help us measure the angle formed by a pair of vectors and the position of a vector relative to the coordinate axes.
How do you do cross products?
With your right-hand, point your index finger along vector a, and point your middle finger along vector b: the cross product goes in the direction of your thumb.
Why is cross product a sin?
The distance is covered along one axis or in the direction of force and there is no need of perpendicular axis or sin theta. In cross product the angle between must be greater than 0 and less than 180 degree it is max at 90 degree. ... That's why we use cos theta for dot product and sin theta for cross product.
Why is J negative in cross product?
From the geometrical point of view since cross product corresponds to the signed area of the parallelogram which has the two vectors as sides we can find the minus sign in its expression by symbolic determinant wich indeed requires a minus sign for the →j coordinate according to Laplace's expansion for the determinant.
What is the cross product of i and j?
We can use these properties, along with the cross product of the standard unit vectors, to write the formula for the cross product in terms of components. Since we know that i×i=0=j×j and that i×j=k=−j×i, this quickly simplifies to a×b=(a1b2−a2b1)k=|a1a2b1b2|k.
What is the dot product of i and j?
In words, the dot product of i, j or k with itself is always 1, and the dot products of i, j and k with each other are always 0. The dot product of a vector with itself is a sum of squares: in 2-space, if u = [u1, u2] then u•u = u12 + u22, in 3-space, if u = [u1, u2, u3] then u•u = u12 + u22 + u32.
How do you find the dot product?
Example: calculate the Dot Product for:
- a · b = |a| × |b| × cos(90°)
- a · b = |a| × |b| × 0.
- a · b = 0.
- a · b = -12 × 12 + 16 × 9.
- a · b = -144 + 144.
- a · b = 0.
