What happens when a vector is multiplied by a scalar?
a) It gets rotated in the plane
b) It gets longer
c) It turns into a scalar
d) It gets either longer or shorter, but does not change direction


Sagot :


The scalar operates only on the magnitude of the vector. 
So the length of the vector may change ... becoming longer
or shorter ... but its direction doesn't change.
