Force is a vector quantity.

When my brother and I were both little guys, I could pull on the toy with a million

tons of force toward me, and he could pull on the same toy with a million tons of

force toward him, and the toy didn't move, because the vector sum of the external

forces acting on it was zero. You could not do that today, as they no longer build

toys like they used to.

Scaler. Its vector counterpart is the electric field.


Is it possible to add a vector quantity to a scaler quantity?

No.


Why is force not a scaler quantity?

Force is not a scalar quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. Scalar quantities only have magnitude, while vector quantities like force also have a specified direction in addition to size. This directional component of force is what distinguishes it as a vector quantity.

Is it possible that a physical quantity has direction but it is a scaler?

If a direction is relevant, then it is NOT a scalar, but a vector.


Why is weight a vector quantity?

Weight is defined as a product of mass nd acceleration due to gravity. It has both magnitude nd weight. Actually acceleration has both magnitude nd direction so is a vector quantity. The product of vector quantity and a scaler quantity gives us vector quantity. As weight is a product of mass nd acceleration due to gravity so its a vector quantity. Moaz khaliq

How does a vector quantainty differ from a scaler?

A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction, such as force or velocity, while a scalar quantity has only magnitude, such as mass or speed. Vectors are represented by arrows in a specific direction with a specific length, while scalars are represented by just a numerical value.
