Best Answer

Speed and distance are examples of scalar quantities, meaning they only have magnitude. Velocity and displacement are vector quantities, meaning they have both magnitude and direction.

Examples of scalar quantities:

speed (s) - 10 m/s or 36 km/h

distance (d) - 100 m or 0.1 km

Examples of vector quantities:

velocity (v) - 10 m/s [E] or 36 km/h [E]

displacement (Δd) - 100 m [E] or 0.1 km [E]

The value in square brackets (for vector quantities) indicate direction and include, but not limited to:

[S], [N], [E], [W], [45°], [45° E of S], [45° S of E], [forward], [backward] [up/↑], [down/↓], etc...

No. If you need a vector, you call it a "velocity".

No, speed is a scalar quantity which means it has magnitude only. Whereas, velocity is speed in a given direction, meaning it is a vector quantity.

What are sums or pairs?

I'm not sure what you are asking. Sums represent either an increase of one quantity by another quantity, or a combination of two quantities. Two of anything is a pair. Did you mean to ask, "What are sums of pairs?" One common use of a pair in mathematics is an ordered pair, such as (2,3). This can represent a coordinate in a graph, or it can represent a vector. If pairs represent a vector, you add the components, so (2,3) + (40,50) = (42, 53).

What are the importance of vector in mathematics?

They are used in a types of mathematics and can represent anything with a direction and a magnituted. Examples are temperature changes, directions you move, but many examples are far more abstract. In fact every ordered pair of numbers, (a,b) can be thought of as a vector with the origin (0,0) being one point and (a,b) being the other end of the vector. We should can the point tip and tail of the vector. However, remember, the line segment with an arrow is just a representation of the vector, it is not the vector itself.
