Vectors and the Geometry of Space: The Cross Product
In this video I go over further into Vectors and the Geometry of Space and this time cover the Cross Product. The cross product is a very useful concept and is defined such that it produces a vector that is perpendicular to 2 other vectors. This property is very useful in physics, especially when dealing with rotation and torque.
While the definition of the cross product involves a lot of algebra, I show that it can be made easier to both remember and calculate by writing it in determinant form. Furthermore, I show that the length of the cross product is equal to the parallelogram formed from 2 vectors. I also go over several other theorems and topics that follow from the cross product, such as the right-hand rule, the scalar triple product, and a number of properties of the cross product. This is a great in-depth introduction and examination of the cross product so make sure to watch this whole video!
