# Cross product

## Formula

The cross product of two vectors is a vector which is perpendicular plane containing them. The cross product of vector $$\vec{V}$$ and $$\vec{U}$$ can be calculated thanks to the following formula:

$$\vec{V} \times \vec{U} = \left ( \begin{matrix} V_y.U_z - V_z.U_y \\ V_z.U_x - V_x.U_z \\ V_x.U_y - V_y.U_x \end{matrix} \right )$$

## Properties

Properties
If $$\vec{V}$$ and $$\vec{U}$$ are collinear, $$\vec{V} \times \vec{U}$$ is a null vector.
If $$\vec{V}$$ is null, $$\vec{V} \times \vec{U}$$ is a null vector.
If $$\vec{U}$$ is null, $$\vec{V} \times \vec{U}$$ is a null vector.
$$\vec{V} \times \vec{U}$$ is normal to the plane containing the vectors $$\vec{V}$$ and $$\vec{U}$$.
$$\vec{V} \times \vec{U}=-(\vec{U} \times \vec{V}) = (-\vec{U}) \times \vec{V}$$.
