What results from multiplying or dividing vectors by scalars?

  • A Vectors if multiplied or scalars if divided
  • B Scalars if multiplied scalars
  • C Scalars
  • D Vectors
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!

When you multiply or divide a vector by a scalar, the result is a vector. The direction of the vector remains the same, but its magnitude is scaled by the scalar. Multiplying by a scalar stretches or shrinks the vector, while dividing by a scalar has a similar effect but inversely. Scalars do not change the fundamental nature of the vector, which remains a vector.
