scalar has only a magnitude
vector has both magnitude and direction
it's a scalar because u dnt need to mention the direction like 8 pages north east .
example of the following terms of absolute location
Define these terms
Speed is a rate (usually rapid) at which something happens. It is the distance moved through a unit time. It is a scalar quantity since it gives us only magnitude.
Matter occupies space and has mass Explain how energy must be described in terms of these two factors Then define energy?
The (any) vector has 'direction' .
It is neither. The terms "scalar" and "vector" are used to physical measurements; things that can actually be measured with a certain amount of precision.
scalar lol
It is a scalar quantity unless you define direction, then it becomes a vector quantity.
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
vector
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
Vector quantity is a quantity characterized by magnitude and direction.Whereas,Scalar quantity is a quantity that does not depend on direction.
Speed is a scalar, motion (or velocity) is a vector.
current is vector or scalar
scalar direction is a vector quantity
