it's a vector quantity because it is aquantity which only shows the speed of the vehicle but scaler shows direction also.

Is 55 miles per hour a vector?
No. It is a speed (a scalar) but not a velocity (a vector).
Are miles per hour and seconds scalar quantities?
Miles per hour and seconds are units of measurement of speed and time respectively, which are scalar quantities.
Is thirty meters per hour is a vector quanity?
It is a scalar quantity unless you define direction, then it becomes a vector quantity.
What type of measurement is 55 miles per hour?
scalar
If a pitcher throws a baseball such that when it leaves her hand it has a velocity vector of 0 98 in miles per hour What speed is this fastball going?
Unfortunately this question can't be answered. The reason for this, is because there is no stated direction for the 'velocity' therefore it isn't a vector quantity, it's scalar.
Is 55 miles per hour a vector quantity or scalar quantity?
(55 miles per hour) is a scalar. (55 miles per hour heading north) is a vector.
Is 55 miles per hour a vector?
No. It is a speed (a scalar) but not a velocity (a vector).
Is traveling 60miles per hour a scalar or vector quantity?
60 mph is a scalar.60 mph north is a vector.
How are scalers different from vectors?
A scalar is a magnitude only (...I am driving at 60 miles per hour), while a vector is a magnitude and direction (...I am driving at 60 miles per hour, heading east).
Is thirty meters per hour a vector quantity?
No, it's a scalar quantity. ;)
Are miles per hour and seconds scalar quantities?
Miles per hour and seconds are units of measurement of speed and time respectively, which are scalar quantities.
Is thirty meters per hour is a vector quanity?
It is a scalar quantity unless you define direction, then it becomes a vector quantity.
60 miles per hour would be a Scalar quantity because it represents a Magnitude but not Direction. is true or false?
TRUE. However, if you said '60 miles per hour in a northerly direction' , then that is a vector quantity. because it has direction.
Define the term velocity. what are its various units Is it a scalar or vector quantity?
Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning that it has both a magnitude and a direction. Mass, on the other hand, is a scalar quantity; it has a magnitude only. Velocity is measured in units of distance divided by time; for example, meters per second or miles per hour.
What type of measurement is 55 miles per hour?
scalar
Give 3 examples of scaler velocity?
There is no such thing as 'scalar velocity'. Velocity is a vector, always. A quantity that tells how fast an object is moving but doesn't tell in which direction it's moving is a scalar. That quantity is called "speed". Three examples are: -- Driving 30 miles per hour. -- Running 8 miles per hour. -- Sliding 15 feet per second.
Does addition of two vectors give you scalar of vector quantity?
Vectors have the magnitude and direction, scalars have only magnitude. Addition of vectors A and B will produce a vector C. Such that C=A+B. C is a vector because it will have magnitude and the direction.For an example consider a moving sidewalk such as those in the airports. If such a sidewalk is moving South at 2 miles per hour, its velocity is vector A. If a person walking on that sidewalk at 3 miles per hour also South, that persons velocity is vector B. However, that person will be moving at 2+3=5 miles per hour in relation to a stationary observer or in other words with the velocity of vector C.Further, consider A+B1=C1.If that person is walking North, or the opposite direction of treadmill's (if he or she got on the wrong sidewalk :) ), that person's velocity will be -3 miles per hour that will be vector B1. Thus in relation to a stationary observer that person is moving 2+(-3)=(-1) miles per hour towards South, the velocity of vector C1. That is the person is moving North at 1 mile per hour.
