Yes. If you are interested only in the magnitude (scalar quantity), you call it "speed"; if you are interested in the vector (magnitude and direction), you call it "velocity".

What of the following is an example of a vector quantity?

Velocity is an example of a vector quantity because it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.


Which measurement is a vector quantity?

A vector quantity measures the movement of a particular object in a given direction. An example of a vector quantity is velocity.


When we subtract a velocity vector from another velocity vector the result is?

The result of subtracting one velocity vector from another velocity vector is a new velocity vector. This new vector represents the difference in speed and direction between the two original velocity vectors.


What ia an example of a vector?

North at 45 miles per hour. A vector has a direction and a magnitude.


What two pieces of information do vectors tell us?

The magnitude of a vector represents its?

That depends on what the vector, itself, represents. For example, if the vector represents velocity, then the magnitude of the vector represents speed. If the vector represents displacement, then the magnitude of the vector represents distance.


What is an example of the difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is what it is: speed. Velocity is speed in a given direction, a vector quantity.


Is grams could be units for a vector quantity?

No, grams are units of mass, not vector quantities. Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction, such as velocity or force. An example unit for vector quantity would be Newtons for force or meters per second for velocity.


What are physical examples of vectors which are perpendicular to their derivatives?

One physical example of a vector perpendicular to its derivative is angular momentum in the case of rotational motion. The angular momentum vector is perpendicular to the angular velocity vector, which is the derivative of the angular displacement vector. Another example is velocity and acceleration in circular motion, where velocity is perpendicular to acceleration at any given point on the circular path.


Is moment a vector or a scalar?

A vector. Since velocity is a vector, moment, which is mass x velocity, is also a vector.


Why angular velocity is vector quantity?

Because it's a type of velocity and velocity is vector quantity
