Scalar quantities are defined as quantities that have only a mganitude.
Vector quantities have magnitude and direction.
Some example of this include
Scalar Vector
Mass Weight
length Displacement
Speed Velocity
Energy Acceleration
Scalar quantities - quantities that only include magnitude Vector quantities - quantities with both magnitude and direction
No, a scalar quantity cannot be the product of two vector quantities. Scalar quantities have only magnitude, while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. When two vectors are multiplied, the result is a vector, not a scalar.
Scalar and vector quantities are both used to describe physical quantities in physics. The key similarity between them is that they both involve numerical values. However, vector quantities also have a direction associated with them, while scalar quantities do not.
A vector is characterized by having not only a magnitude, but a direction. If a direction is not relevant, the quantity is called a scalar.
Scalar and vector quantities are both used in physics to describe properties of objects. They both have magnitude, which represents the size or amount of the quantity. However, the key difference is that vector quantities also have direction associated with them, while scalar quantities do not.
Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction, such as velocity and force. Scalar quantities have only magnitude and no specific direction, such as speed and temperature.
No, a vector quantity and a scalar quantity are different. A vector has both magnitude and direction, while a scalar has only magnitude. Velocity and force are examples of vector quantities, while speed and temperature are examples of scalar quantities.
No. Force and acceleration are vector quantities.
It is not possible the addition of scalars as well as vectors because vector quantities are magnitude as well as direction and scalar quantities are the only magnitude; they have no directions at all. Addition is possible between scalar to scalar and vector to vector. Under some circumstances, you may be able to treat scalar quantities as being along some previously undefined dimension of a vector quantity, and add them that way. For example, you can treat time as a vector along the t-axis and add it to an xyz position vector in 3-space to come up with a four-dimensional spacetime vector.
There is no such thing as scalar and vector forces. However, there are scalar and vector QUANTITIES, and force is a vector quantity, as all forces have direction and magnitude. Scalar quantities, on the other hand, have only magnitude and no direction.
Work and energy are scalar quantities because they have magnitude but no direction. They are described by a single numerical value rather than having both magnitude and direction like vector quantities.
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
