Not at all. Scalar are numerical quantities without direction (for example time) where as vectors are numerical

quantities with direction (for example gravitational force downward)

Is mass a vector or scalars?

Mass is a scalar value. Scalar refers to the magnitude of the object. Vector refers to the direction. If an object is moving, it's mass is scalar and its velocity is vectorial because the velocity has a magnitude (how fast) and a direction. Hope this helps. Search Scalar and vector for the true scientific definitions.


What is scalar 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.


What are the quantities that identifies scalar and vector quantities?

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.

How many components have a vector?

It is the other way round - it's the vector that has components.In general, a vector can have one or more components - though a vector with a single component is often called a "scalar" instead - but technically, a scalar is a special case of a vector.
