What is the physical meaning of a product of vectors? Thanks for answering but I didn't understand anything because I'm not familiar with abstract algebra :( And further, since we are using vectors in Physics, I believe there must be a physical way of looking at vectors rather than an abstract mathematical one. |

What is the physical meaning of a product of vectors? Why can we not think in terms of displacements? Aren't they vectors too? |

What is the physical meaning of a product of vectors? @Georg Still didn't understand what a product of displacement means :( |

How can area be a vector? What you said makes sense though I'm not fully satisfied. Thanks a lot :) |

How can area be a vector? Secondly, you said that this concept doesn't work so well in higher dimensions. So does that mean that my question about the direction of a sphere's area is invalid? If so then is area a scalar in this particular case since considering it as a vector cannot specify its orientation in space? |

How can area be a vector? Thanks. Just a few clarifications. You asked me to imagine a person standing on a paper & consider the direction of his head as representing the normal vector. But suppose this person was standing on the exact opposite face, then won't the orientation of the paper still remain the same? But now the direction of the vector is in the opposite direction. Please clarify. |
