tension is a vector!(At first I thought it was a scalar too but this afternoon it was in our physics quiz,I answered scalar but I got it wrong because tension is a vector).

this is the explanation:

tension is the force producing such deformation.

anything with force is a vector.Force always has direction.

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.


What is a scalar multiplied by a vector?

A scalar multiplied by a vector involves multiplying each component of the vector by the scalar value. This operation scales the vector's magnitude while retaining its direction if the scalar is positive, or reversing its direction if the scalar is negative. The result is a new vector that has the same direction as the original (or the opposite direction if the scalar is negative) but a different magnitude.

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.
