Question

We have two vectors that line in the x-y plane. If we take the cross-product of those two vectors we know that the magnitude of the cross-product will always be equal to the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors. the magnitude of the cross-product will always be greater than the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors. the magnitude of the cross-product will always be less than the product of the magnitudes of the two vectors. the cross-product vector will be perpendicular to the first vector and in the x-y plane. the cross-product vector will be in cither the +z or -Z direction.

Explanation / Answer

e) since the product should be perpendicular to both the vecors therefore it should be in the direction perpendicular to the plane containing the two vectors
