Want this question answered?
Speed is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude but not direction, velocity is a vector quantity because it has magnitude and direction.
A force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Distance is a sclar quantity. A scalar quantity is a magnitude only. A vector has magnitude and direction. Distance AND direction is a vector quantity.
A vector quantity
A physical quantity that is specified by both magnitude and direction is a vector by definition.
Yes, it is

A Scalar Quantity is a physical quantity which has only magnitude and no direction associated with it . For eg,mass is a scalar quantity beause it has only magnitude (say 5 kg)but has no direction in which the magnitude acts towards.on the other hand a physical quantity which has both magnitude and direction is called a vector quantity.like weight is a vector quantity because it has magnitude along with direction(i.e. it always acts in the downward direction.
A physical quantity that is specified by both magnitude and direction is a vector by definition.
If a quantity does not have a direction, its a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity.
A vector is described by magnitude and direction (a scalar has only magnitude).
Velocity.
