Any vector can be resized by multiplying it by a real number (scalar).. Multiplying by positive scalar changes magnitude only.. Multiplying by a negative scalar changes the magnitude and its direction.. properties, addition, components of vectors . When you see a vector, think components!.

In physics, we are often concerned with the direction of an object's motions. To represent direction we need to use vectors.
