south

Work Step by Step

When we multiply a vector with a positive number like 5.0, the magnitude of the vector changes but the direction remains the same. Therefore the direction of the vector $5.0\vec{d}$ is the same as the direction of $\vec{d}$. That is, the direction of $5.0\vec{d}$ is south.
