Multiplication of a Vector in Physics – Scalars and Vectors

We are giving a detailed and clear sheet on all Physics Notes that are very useful to understand the Basic Physics Concepts.

Multiplication of a Vector:
1. Multiplication of a Vector By a Real Number Definition:
When a vector A is multiplied by a real number n, then its magnitude becomes n times but direction and unit remains unchanged.

2. Multiplication of a Vector By a Scalar Definition:
When a vector A is multiplied by a scalar S, then its magnitude becomes S times and unit is the product of units of A and S but direction remains same as that of vector A.

Scalars and Vectors Topics:

Scalars and Vectors Tensors
Types of Vectors Addition of Vectors
Rotation of Vectors Direction Cosines of a Vector
Subtraction of Vectors Multiplication of Vectors
Scalar Product of Two Vectors Vector Product of Two Vectors
