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.
Why the product of two vectors is sometime scalar and sometime vector?
Because there are two different ways of computing the product of two vectors, one of which yields a scalar quantity while the other yields a vector quantity.This isn't a "sometimes" thing: the dot product of two vectors is always scalar, while the cross product of two vectors is always a vector.
Does the scalar product of two vectors depend on the choice of coordinate system?
No.
Why dot product of two vectors is scalar?
That's the way it is defined.
What is the value of scalar product of two vectors A and B where value of vector A and B is not zero and vector product of two vectors A and B is not zero?
Scalar product = (magnitude of 'A') times (magnitude of 'B') times (cosine of the angle between 'A' and 'B')
