Scalar Multiplication of a Vector by Michael Dawson
Loading the math board and drawing, please wait…
This example demonstrates the scalar multiplication of a vector. By adjusting the slider, the length of the vector can be changed. Dragging the endpoint of vector v can alter its direction. This example uses vector and slider animation. Suitable for students at middle school level and above to learn basic vector operations.
