Question
The resultant of $\vec{A} \times 0$ will be equal to
✓
Answer
The cross product $\vec{A} \times \vec{B}$ is a vector, with its direction perpendicular to both $\vec{A}$ and $\vec{B} . \vec{A} \times \vec{B}$ is area. If side $B$ is zero, area is zero. $\vec{A} \times 0$ is a zero vector.
If in case $0$ is a scalar, then also the product is zero. But a scalar $\times$ a vector is also a vector.
