What happens when a vector is multiplied by a scalar?
a) It gets rotated in the plane
b) It gets longer
c) It turns into a scalar
d) It gets either longer or shorter, but does not change direction

The scalar operates only on the magnitude of the vector. 
So the length of the vector may change ... becoming longer
or shorter ... but its direction doesn't change.
