Vector Compass Direction

Scalar multiplication is:

• multiplying two numbers from a scale

• when our classroom elf, Scalar, uses magic to create a twin

• multiplying a number against a vector to change its magnitude

• the solution when multiplying two vectors

Find the magnitude.

• 0

• 5

• -5

• 4

Find the magnitude.

• 5

• 3

• 25

• -4

Find the magnitude.
