Answer: A vector is always the product of 2 scalars
Yes, you can add a scalar to a vector by adding the scalar value to each component of the vector.
Yes, you can multiply a vector by a scalar. The scalar will multiply each component of the vector by the same value, resulting in a new vector with each component scaled by that value.
When multiplying a vector by a scalar, each component of the vector is multiplied by the scalar. This operation changes the magnitude of the vector but not its direction. Similarly, dividing a vector by a scalar involves dividing each component of the vector by the scalar.
The magnitude alone of a vector quantity is often referred to as the scalar component of the vector. This represents the size or length of the vector without considering its direction.
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.
To add a scalar to a vector, you simply multiply each component of the vector by the scalar and then add the results together to get a new vector. For example, if you have a vector v = [1, 2, 3] and you want to add a scalar 5 to it, you would calculate 5*v = [5, 10, 15].
by this do you means*Vwhere s is the scalar and V is the vector?if V = ai + bj + ck thens*V = (s*a)i + (s*b)j + (s*c)kwhere i, j and k are the unit vectors and a,b and c are constantsEssentially you just multiply each part of the vector by the scalar
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
vector
A vector quantity is one that has a magnitude (a number), and a direction. No, resistance is not a vector quantity; it is a scalar quantity (only magnitude).
Yes, velocity would be the vector companion of speed, as velocity must have a direction.
Basically, a scalar magnitude is one in which the direction is not relevant; a vector magnitude is one in which the direction is relevant. A scalar can be represented by a single real number; a vector requires at least two numbers (for example, the x-component and the y-component; or alternately a magnitude and a direction).
