Want this question answered?
Vector
That means that the quantity has no associated direction.
A physical quantity that is specified by both magnitude and direction is a vector by definition.
The speedometer in a car does not measure the car's velocity because velocity is an (A) vector quantity and has a direction associated with it (B) vector quantity and does not have a direction associated with it.
the quantities which have both magnitude and direction are called vector quantities
Vector
That means that the quantity has no associated direction.
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 quantity with a direction is called a vector.
Associates the direction taken with the speedAny quantity that has direction and magnitude associated with it is considered a vector quantity. An example of a vector quantity would be velocity. It must be expressed with reference to a direction.-aerol_
length is a scalar quantity buddy . but displacement is vector quantity. Length is a vector quantity If it is associated with direction.. Because having direction make it vector... S0 being vector or scalar depends upon how and where it is used..
A quantity involving direction and magnitude is called physically vector A quantity involving direction and magnitude is called physically vector

Yes , speed in a given direction is called velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that is it has both magnitude as well as direction.
That's called a vector.
