Yes and no. It's the dot product, but not the cross product.

Is power a vector quantity or a scalar quantity?
vector, power= work/time and work= force * distance, force is vector.
Is work a product of force and distance?
Yes.
Is product of force times distance?
Force times distance is called "Work" for the purposes of physics.
If force is work divided by distance then distance is force divided by work?
I usually start with the definition of work: Work = force * distance so... Force = work / distance Distance = work / force So, no. You had it backwards.
What is defined as force times distance?
Work is defined as the dot product of force times distance, or W = F * d = Fd cos (theta) where theta is the angle in between the force and distance vectors (if you are doing two dimensions). In three dimensions, use the standard definition for the dot product (using the component form of the vectors).
Is power a vector quantity or a scalar quantity?
vector, power= work/time and work= force * distance, force is vector.
Is workdone is scalar or vector?
Work done is a scalar quantity. It is defined as the product of force and distance in the direction of the force, and does not have a direction associated with it.
Is weight scalar or vector quantity?
scalar, produced by the scalar product of two vector quantities ... Force · Distance
What is measured as a product of force applied and the distance moved?
Work is measured as a product of force applied and the distance moved. Work is calculated using the formula: Work = Force × Distance.
What is the product of the input force through a distance?
force * distance = work
Why does the work is scalar quantity?
Work is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude and no direction. The amount of work done is determined by the force applied and the distance over which the force is exerted, without considering the direction of the force.
How is distance and direction affect work?
Work is the product of force and distance, or w = F x d. Now, theoretically, if you push an object 100 yards to the east, and then turn it around and push it 100 yards back to the staring point, you did NO work, because distance has a vector component. But, if you just push it in one direction only, the work done will be the product of the force applied times the distance moved.
What Is The Product Of Work?
Force and distance
How torque is vector and work is scalar quantity?
Torque is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction, representing a twisting force around an axis. Work is a scalar quantity because it is the product of force and displacement, and only has magnitude, without direction.
Define work in physics?
In physics, work is defined as the transfer of energy that results from applying a force to an object and moving it over a distance in the direction of the force. The formula for work is W = Fd, where W is the work done, F is the force applied, and d is the distance over which the force is applied.
How do you find the angle in the work done?
To find the angle in the work done, you can use the formula: work = force * distance * cos(angle). Rearrange the formula to solve for the angle: angle = cos^(-1)(work / (force * distance)). Substituting the values of work, force, and distance into the equation will give you the angle.
Work is the product of force and an object's?
Work is the product of force and the distance through which the force continues before it quits.It really doesn't directly involve any characteristics of the object upon which the force acts.
