by this do you mean
s*V
where s is the scalar and V is the vector?
if V = ai + bj + ck then
s*V = (s*a)i + (s*b)j + (s*c)k
where i, j and k are the unit vectors and a,b and c are constants
Essentially you just multiply each part of the vector by the scalar

Scalar and vector?
A scalar is a magnitude that doesn't specify a direction. A vector is a magnitude where the direction is important and is specified.
What is the product of vector and scalar?
The product of a vector and a scalar is a new vector whose magnitude is the product of the magnitude of the original vector and the scalar, and whose direction remains the same as the original vector if the scalar is positive or in the opposite direction if the scalar is negative.
Is hours a vector or scalar quantity?
Hours is a scalar quantity, as it only represents the magnitude of time elapsed and does not have a direction associated with it.
Why is it impossible to add a scalar to a vector?
Scalars are single numbers, while vectors have both magnitude and direction. Adding a scalar to a vector would change the vector's magnitude but not its direction, leading to a different type of mathematical operation. It is not possible to directly add a scalar to a vector in the same way you would add two vectors of the same dimension.
What is a scalar times a vector?
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
Is inertia is a scalar or vector?
vector
A scalar is a quantity that has?
A scalar is a quantity that has magnitude (size) only, without a specific direction. Scalars are represented by a single number value and do not have associated vector components. Examples of scalars include time, temperature, and speed.
Is time a scalar or a vector?
Scalar
Multiplying or dividing vectors by scalars results in what?
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.
Is earthquake a scalar or vector?
An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.
Is power a vector or scalar?

Is charge scalar or vector?

Can you multiply a vector and a scalar?
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.
Is conductivity a vector or scalar quantity?
