The cross product can be said to be a measure of the 'perpendicularity' of the vectors in the product.

The Geometrical meaning of the second derivative is the curvature of the function. If the function has zero second derivative it is straight or flat.
point is also known as dot.
No, the axis must be specified: torque = (distance from the axis) X (force). (X is the vector cross-product in this case - meaning the angle also matters.)No, the axis must be specified: torque = (distance from the axis) X (force).

cross: torque dot: work
Normally you use sine theta with the cross product and cos theta with the vector product, so that the cross product of parallel vectors is zero while the dot product of vectors at right angles is zero.
