Axis equal to:
Correct answer: B. Zero
- A. 4
- B. Zero
- C. 2
- D. 1
Explanation
From the given diagram: i x j= k j x k= i k x i= j j x i = -k k x j= -i i x k= -j Now to solve the given expression, k x j= -i so j x -i = 0 , since these two vectors are perpendicular and the dot product of two perpendicular vectors is 0.

About Vector Product
The vector product, or cross product, gives a vector perpendicular to two multiplying vectors, with magnitude AB sin θ and direction set by the right-hand rule. It covers properties such as anti-commutation, area from cross products, torque and angular momentum. Unlike the dot product, its result is a vector.
