scalar quantities have magnitude only while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction.
e.g.s of scalar quantities- distance, mass, temperature, speed
e.g.s of vector quantities-displacement, velocity, acceleration, weight, force

Similarities between scalar and vector quantities?
Scalar quantities - quantities that only include magnitude Vector quantities - quantities with both magnitude and direction
How many types of quantities?
there are three types of quantities:-1.Scalar quantities - Scalarsare quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone.2.vector quantities - Vectorsare quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.3.Tensor quantities - tensors are quantities that are fully described by magnitude, direction and the plane thecomponent acts on.
What is quantities that has magnitude only?
A Scalar Quantity has only magnitude whereas a Vector Quantity has magnitude as well as direction.Examples of scalar quantities are time, mass, distance, etc.
What is sclar quantities?
magnitude only
Can we have physical quantities which have magnitude and direction but are not vectors if yes how?
yes we can have. for eg electric current, pressure etc though these quantities have both magnitude and direction their directions are not necessary to define them and vectors are those quantities which has magnitude and requires direction to be defined " quantities having both magnitude and direction is a vector" is not a corrrect definition ofa vector
What are the different derived quantities?
Scalar and vector quantities. Scalar quantities only have magnitude, like the volume of an object. Vectors have both magnitude and direction, like the velocity of an object.
What are theclassifications of physical quantities according to magnitude and direction?
Physical quantities that need both magnitude and direction for its complete description are known as vector quantities. Physical quantities that need only direction for its complete description are known as scalar quantities.
What are Scalar and vector values?
scalars are those quantities which have magnitude as well as unit.and vector are those quantities which has magnitude,unit as well as direction.
What is a quantity that has direction?
the quantities which have both magnitude and direction are called vector quantities
What are quantities indicate a direction and a magnitude?
What is a vector
Why is speed scalar?
because it has a magnitude but no direction, whereas vector quantities have a magnitude and a direction.
Is speed a scalar?
because it has a magnitude but no direction, whereas vector quantities have a magnitude and a direction.
