The dot-product and cross-product are used in high order physics and math when dealing with matrices or, for example, the properties of an electron (spin, orbit, etc.).

Why we use sine angle in cross product while cos angle in dot product?

Because in dot product we take projection fashion and that is why we used cos and similar in cross product we used sin


What is the right-hand rule used for when calculating the vector cross product?

The right-hand rule is used to determine the direction of the resulting vector when calculating the vector cross product.


When you use cross product and dot product in vector?

Dot product and cross product are used in many cases in physics. Here are some examples:Work is sometimes defined as force times distance. However, if the force is not applied in the direction of the movement, the dot product should be used. Note that here - as well as in other cases where the dot product is used - the product is greatest when the angle is zero; also, the result is a scalar, not a vector.The cross product is used to define torque (distance from the axis of rotation, times force). In this case, the product is greatest when the two vectors are at right angles. Also - as in any cross product - the result is also a vector.Several interactions between electricity and magnetism are defined as cross products.

What is the product of two vector quantities?

It depends on the type of product used. A dot or scalar product of two vectors will result in a scalar. A cross or vector product of two vectors will result in a vector.


What is the rule used to determine the direction of the cross product in vector mathematics, known as the right-hand rule?

The right-hand rule is a rule in vector mathematics used to determine the direction of the cross product. It states that if you point your right thumb in the direction of the first vector and curl your fingers towards the second vector, your outstretched fingers will point in the direction of the resulting cross product vector.


What is the right hand rule used for when determining the direction of the cross product?
