vector Quantity
trey6t6
A vector is described by magnitude and direction (a scalar has only magnitude).
In order to have a vector quantity, one needs to have some sort of magnitude and a direction. An example of this is velocity. Velocity is a speed in a certain direction, so velocity is a vector, but speed is not. These words are commonly misused in society, and used interchageably with one another.
A scalar quantity defines only magnitude, while a vector quantity defines both a magnitude and direction.
Speed is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude but not direction, velocity is a vector quantity because it has magnitude and direction.
I don't think so - is something has a magnitude and a direction, by definition it is a vector.
Speed is equivalent to velocity in terms of magnitude, however, velocity also includes direction. Speed is a scalar quantity, meaning it has only magnitude, while velocity is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction.
stress is having magnitude, direction and point of application of force
Scalar quantity is a quantity that possesses magnitude but not direction. Examples include mass, temperature, and speed.
Thrust is a force and a force is a vector quantity having a magnitude and direction
Yup! We know that the scalar quantity is a quantity which is having magnitude but not having "DIRECTION" pressure is a scalar quantity for the reason that it's not having any direction Means it is directionless...... Have you ever heard saying anyone that the pressure applied was 730 torrs in west , east or north south direction?????????> No, it is IMPOSSIBLe.....
True. A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction, while a scalar quantity only has magnitude.
