There are various physical situations in which the cross product naturally arises, for example in various relationships between electricity and magnetism. Another example is torque (the rotational equivalent of "force"): torque depends on the distance from the reference point and on the force. It also depends on the angle between the two (including the direction in the "distance"). Finally, the torque can conveniently be defined as having a "direction" that points in the axis of the resulting rotation (or angular acceleration). This gives you all the characteristics of a cross product.

Does the phrase direction of zero vector have physical significance?
No. the zero vector has no direction, therefore it has no significance.
Is it possible to multiply a vector quantity to a scalar quantity?
The product of scalar and vector quantity is scalar.
What is the physical science definition for work?
The product of distance and the force in the direction an object moves.
What is the product of mass and force due to gravity?
The product of (mass) x (force) has no physical significance.The product of (mass) x (acceleration due to gravity) is the force due to gravity,which we usually call "weight".

What is the geometrical meaning of cross product?
The cross product can be said to be a measure of the 'perpendicularity' of the vectors in the product. Please see the link.
Why you use cosine theta with cross product?
Normally you use sine theta with the cross product and cos theta with the vector product, so that the cross product of parallel vectors is zero while the dot product of vectors at right angles is zero.
What is the significant of the cross that jesus died on?
The cross is of no significance only as an instrument of prolonged torture to the victim.
Why the cross product of two vectors in plane is directed perpendicular to the plane?
because that is the def. of a cross-product!
