What is the result of multiplying vector components by a scalar?

If the scalar is
> 1 the resultant vector will be larger and in the same direction.
= 1 the resultant vector will be the same as the original vector.
between 0 and 1 the resultant vector will be smaller and in the same direction.
= 0 the resultant vector will be null.
If the scalar is less than 0, then the pattern will be the same as above except that the direction of the resultant will be reversed.

What is the product of two vector quantities?
It depends on the type of product used. A dot or scalar product of two vectors will result in a scalar. A cross or vector product of two vectors will result in a vector.
What is a scalar times a vector?
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
Why work is scalar but product of two vector?
The product of two vectors can be done in two different ways. The result of one way is another vector. The result of the other way is a scalar ... that's why that method is called the "scalar product". The way it's done is (magnitude of one vector) times (magnitude of the other vector) times (cosine of the angle between them).
How is velocity diffrent from speed?
Velocity is a vector, and so it has two components -- magnitude (speed) and direction. Speed is a scalar, and it is the magnitude of velocity, a vector.
Is time a scalar or a vector?
Scalar
How many components have a vector?
It is the other way round - it's the vector that has components.In general, a vector can have one or more components - though a vector with a single component is often called a "scalar" instead - but technically, a scalar is a special case of a vector.
What is it called when a scalar and a vector are multiplied together?
When a scalar quantity(if it has positive magnitude) is multiplies by a vector quantity the product is another vector quantity with the magnitude as the product of two vectors and the direction and dimensions same as the multiplied vector quantity e.g. MOMENTUM
How is the direction of the vectors involved in the definition of work?
A definition of work W: W = ⌠F∙dsWhere F is a force vector that is dot-multiplying (scalar product) the differentialdisplacement vector dS. The result is the work W, a scalar, done by the force thatproduced the displacement. But notice that the scalar product of both vectors willonly consider the force component that is collinear with the displacement vector.
What is the product of two vector quantities?
It depends on the type of product used. A dot or scalar product of two vectors will result in a scalar. A cross or vector product of two vectors will result in a vector.
Why vector quantities cannot be added and subtracted like scalar quantities?
Mainly because they aren't scalar quantities. A vector in the plane has two components, an x-component and a y-component. If you have the x and y components for each vector, you can add them separately. This is very similar to the addition of scalar quantities; what you can't add directly, of course, is their lengths. Similarly, a vector in space has three components; you can add each of the components separately.
Is the number of leaves on a tree scalar or vector?
scalar lol
Is stress scalar or vector quantity?
Stress is tensor quantity. The stress tensor has 9 components. Each of its components has a magnitude (a scalar) and two directions associated with it.
What is a scalar times a vector?
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
Is stress is scalar quantity or vector quantity?
Stress is tensor quantity. The stress tensor has 9 components. Each of its components has a magnitude (a scalar) and two directions associated with it.
Is inertia is a scalar or vector?
vector
What is scalar vector?
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
