Can you add a scalar to a vector?
Yes, you can add a scalar to a vector by adding the scalar value to each component of the vector.
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.
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 it possible to multiply a vector quantity to a scalar quantity?
The product of scalar and vector quantity is scalar.
Can a scalar quantity be the product of 2 vector quantities?
No, a scalar quantity cannot be the product of two vector quantities. Scalar quantities have only magnitude, while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. When two vectors are multiplied, the result is a vector, not a scalar.
