Just like matrices, you can multiply and divide vectors by scalar values. This is useful when you want to scale the speed of a vehicle up or down, or enlarge a picture. For instance, if you had an object moving at a certain speed in a certain direction and you wanted to make it go twice as fast in the same direction, you would multiply its movement vector by a scalar. The principle you use is much the same as the one you used for matrices. All you need to do is multiply each component of the vector by the scalar.
