A physical quantity described by both magnitude and direction is called what?
A physical quantity that is specified by both magnitude and direction is a vector by definition.
A vector is a quantity with magnitude and?
A vector is described by magnitude and direction (a scalar has only magnitude).
Something that must be described with both a size and a direction?
A vector quantity (velocity, etc.)
A vector is a quantity with magnitude and ___?
A vector is described by magnitude and direction (a scalar has only magnitude).
What is the name given to the physical quantity which can be completely described by specifying both magnitude and direction?
Vector quantity
Vector quantity will be described numerically or graphically?
it can be described in both. when graphically, it will be represented by an arrow in the direction of the vector and have the magnitude either written by it or you will have the arrow drawn to scale for the magnitude (length) of the arrow. numerically, you can break it down into its x, y, and z components and put them in from of i, j, and k respectively. ex a vector with x component of 3, y component of 2 and z component of 4 can be written as 3i +2j +4k

What decscribes a vector?
A vector is a quantity described by size and direction. Mathematically, the square of a vector is negative, e.g. i^2 = -1, thus a quantity whose square is negative is a vector, e.g. 5i is a vector because (5i)^2 = -25.
Write differences between scaler and vector quantities?
Scaler Quantity- quantities which are described only by magnitude.Vector Quantity- quantities which are described by both magnitude as well as direction.
What is basic quantity which is vector quantity?
Which of the following is a vector quantity
What is Vector quantity?
Associates the direction taken with the speedAny quantity that has direction and magnitude associated with it is considered a vector quantity. An example of a vector quantity would be velocity. It must be expressed with reference to a direction.-aerol_
A vector quantity has direction a scalar quantity does not true or false?
True, a vector quantity has direction, and a scalar quantity does not.
