The x-component of a vector is doubled, while keeping the other components constant. What is the effect of this to the magnitude of the original vector in
relation to the new vector?
The magnitude of the new vector is smaller than that of the original.
The magnitude of the new vector is twice of that of the original vector.
The magnitude of the new vector is bigger than that of the original.
O The magnitude of the new vector is half of that of the original vector.
