A scalar is a quantity that describes magnitude(size) only. It does not include direction.
Examples:
Distance (2 cm, 4km)
Speed (50 km/h)
Mass (3g, 45 kg)
A vector is a quantity that describes both magnitude and direction.
Examples:
Displacement (6km north)
Velocity (60 km/h east)
Force (15N downward)
What are difference between scalars and vectors
Vectors have a direction associated with them, scalars do not.
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.
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 !
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 and scalars.....
no
They both have magnitude.
