Similarities between scalar and vector quantities?
Scalar quantities - quantities that only include magnitude Vector quantities - quantities with both magnitude and direction
Why area is scalar?
Scalar quantities are described by a number alone, while vector quantities require a number and a direction, and as area cannot have an associated direction, must be scalar.
Why distance is scalar quantities?
it has no direction
What are scalar and vector forces?
There is no such thing as scalar and vector forces. However, there are scalar and vector QUANTITIES, and force is a vector quantity, as all forces have direction and magnitude. Scalar quantities, on the other hand, have only magnitude and no direction.
Are force and acceleration scalar quantities?
No. Force and acceleration are vector quantities.
What are the different derived quantities?
Scalar and vector quantities. Scalar quantities only have magnitude, like the volume of an object. Vectors have both magnitude and direction, like the velocity of an object.
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.
Is work and energy scalar or vector quantities explain?
It is scalar. This simply means that - unlike vector quantities - energy is not defined in a particular direction.
What is the quantities that has magnitude?
scalar quantities have magnitude only while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. e.g.s of scalar quantities- distance, mass, temperature, speed e.g.s of vector quantities-displacement, velocity, acceleration, weight, force
What are the properties of scalar quantities?
they are independent of direction
Are miles per hour and seconds scalar quantities?
Miles per hour and seconds are units of measurement of speed and time respectively, which are scalar quantities.
Is duration of a flight a scalar or vector?
Scalars are quantities that are fully described by magnitude aloneVectors are quantities that are fully described by both magnitude and a direction.Duration of a flight is simply a magnitude and there is no direction so it is a scalar.
