Question

Calculate $\left | -3v\right |$ , where . Also determine the direction of the resulting vector.

Answer

In order to solve the first part of the problem, we need to remember how to take the magnitude of a vector and scalar.

$\left | c:v\right |=\left | c\right |:\left | v\right |$ , where is a scalar.

Now lets calculate this.

$\left | -3:v\right |=\left | -3\right |\left | v\right |$

$=3\cdot\sqrt{0^2+2^2}=3\cdot\sqrt{0+4}=3\sqrt{4}=3\cdot2=6$

As for the direction of the vector, since , the resulting vector will be against the original vector .
