It is a vector since it has both a magnitude and a direction. Scalar quantities only have a magnitude.
No, scalars and vectors are not the same. Scalars are measurements in numbers. Examples: work, energy, mass, speed, and distance. Scalars measure in one magnitude. Vectors measure velocity, acceleration, force, and momentum.
Force, velocity, acceleration, and displacement are vectors. Mass, temperature, time, cost, and speed are scalars (not vectors).
What are difference between scalars and vectors
Vectors have a direction associated with them, scalars do not.
Physical quantities can be classified as scalars or vectors. Scalars have only magnitude, such as mass or temperature, while vectors have both magnitude and direction, like velocity or force. Scalars and vectors are further categorized into base quantities (e.g. length, time) and derived quantities (e.g. speed, acceleration).
no!!!only scalars and scalars and only vectors and vectors can be added.
Without the difference between scalars and vectors the Universe doesn't work !
A scalar is anything that has only a magnitude. Usually people contrast scalars with vectors. Speed and temperature are scalars. They only have a magnitude (50 mph or 32 degrees) Velocity and acceleration are vectors. They have both a magnitude and a direction (50 mph north, 9 m/(s^2) downwards )
Both scalars and vectors have quantity. The difference is a vector has quantity and direction, whereas scalars only have quantity.
Because scalars do not take in the direction but just the magnitude while vectors can. You can add vectors ONLY if they are in the same direction.
Vectors are considered vectors because they have both magnitude (size or length) and direction. This property distinguishes vectors from scalars, which only have magnitude. In physics and mathematics, vectors are essential for representing physical quantities like force, velocity, and displacement that have both size and direction.
Velocity is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude (speed) and direction. Scalars are quantities that only have magnitude and no direction, while vectors have both magnitude and direction.
