How does vector quantity differ from a scalar quanity?
A scalar quantity defines only magnitude, while a vector quantity defines both a magnitude and direction.
Is distance a vector quanity?
It can be both true or false - you can treat distance as a scalar, or as a vector. If you say that (say) the distance from the cities of Cochabamba and Quillacollo is 13 kilometers - WITHOUT specifiying the direction - then it is a scalar. If you also say that Quillacollo is to the east of Cochabamba, then it is a vector.
A quanity that can have more than a single value is called?
Variable
Why is an electric field considered a vector quanity?
Because if you place a small object with a small electric charge in the field and release it, there's a definite direction in which it will move under the influence of the field. The direction in which a positive test-charge tries to move is defined as the direction of the electric field at that point. Since it has both a magnitude and a direction, it has all the qualifications to be recognized as a vector, and to be granted all the rights and privileges attendant thereto.
What is the sum of two vectors A.addition vector B.distance vector C.resultant vector D.displacement vector?
That is usually called the resultant vector.
Vector is a quanity with magnitude and?
direction
Is force a vector or scaler?
'Force' is a vecter quanity.
Is electric field intensity a vector quanity?
Yes, it is.
Is thirty meters per hour is a vector quanity?
It is a scalar quantity unless you define direction, then it becomes a vector quantity.
What is the definition of acceleration index?
An acceleration index is a vector quanity, which is defined as the rate at which a defined object changes its velocity.
What measure is a vectore quanity?
A vector quality is defined as a quality that is described completely by both a direction and a magnitude. Velocity describes what direction something is moving as well as the speed it is moving, which makes it a vector quality.
How does vector quantity differ from a scalar quanity?
A scalar quantity defines only magnitude, while a vector quantity defines both a magnitude and direction.
What are vector quanity?
Any quantity for which a direction is relevant.Any quantity for which a direction is relevant.Any quantity for which a direction is relevant.Any quantity for which a direction is relevant.
Is distance a vector quanity?

What does finite mean in science?
Finte is the opposite of infinite, finite is a known quanity that has an ending quanity
What is the different distance and displacement?
Displacement is a vector quanity that measures the difference between final position and initial position. Distance is a scalar quanity the measures the total length traveled. For example, imagine you begin stationary at any location and walk along the outline of a 100ft circumference circle, returning you to your starting location. Your distance traveled will be 100 feet, your displacement will be 0 due to your initial position and final position being identical.
A symbol that represents a quanity that can change?
a variable
