I don't understand, please ckeck

$$Let$$ $$V=\Bbb{R}^2$$ and $${u=(u_1,u_2), v=(v_1.v_2)}\in\Bbb{R}^2$$ , $${k}\in \Bbb{R}$$ define of operation $$u\oplus v = (u_1+v_1,u_2+v_2)$$ and $$k \odot u =(2ku_1,2ku_2)$$ check V is vector over field $$\Bbb{R}$$ ?

I think
in a property of the additive inverse $$(-u)+u=0=u+(-u)$$

from define $$k \odot u =(2ku_1,2ku_2)$$
So $$(-1)u = (-1) \odot u =(2(-1)u_1,2(-1)u_2) = (-2u_1,-2u_2) $$
$$(-u)+u = (-2u_1,-2u_2) + (u_1,u_2)\ne 0$$

Hi Another.

In a vector space $V$ over a field $F$, we need to have for every $v\in V$ that
$$1_F\cdot v\ =\ v$$
where $1_F$ is the multiplicative identity in $F$. Is this condition satisfied for the scalar multiplication $\odot$ in this problem? In other words, is
$$1\odot u\ =\ u$$
true for all $u\in\mathbb R^2$?
 
Thread 'Derivation of equations of stress tensor transformation'
Hello ! I derived equations of stress tensor 2D transformation. Some details: I have plane ABCD in two cases (see top on the pic) and I know tensor components for case 1 only. Only plane ABCD rotate in two cases (top of the picture) but not coordinate system. Coordinate system rotates only on the bottom of picture. I want to obtain expression that connects tensor for case 1 and tensor for case 2. My attempt: Are these equations correct? Is there more easier expression for stress tensor...
