Problem

Two vectors lie in the plane of the page. Vector

\vec A

points towards the positive

x

-axis (to the right) and vector

\vec B

points towards the positive

y

-axis (upward). What is the direction of

\vec A \times \vec B

? (a) Along the line

y = x

in the plane (b) Zero (no specific direction, the product is considered zero) (c) Out of the page (along +

\hat k

) (d) Into the page (along −

\hat k

)
