Is traveling 60miles per hour a scalar or vector quantity?

Traveling 60 miles per hour is a scalar quantity. Scalars only have magnitude and no direction, whereas vectors have both magnitude and direction. In this case, the speed of 60 miles per hour is the magnitude of the quantity without specifying a direction.


Is mph a vector quantity?

No, mph (miles per hour) is a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity. Scalar quantities have magnitude only, while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. In the case of mph, only the speed or magnitude is specified, not the direction.


Is thirty meters per hour is a vector quanity?

It is a scalar quantity unless you define direction, then it becomes a vector quantity.


55 miles per hour vector or scalar?

it's a vector quantity because it is aquantity which only shows the speed of the vehicle but scaler shows direction also.


Is 55 miles per hour a vector?

No. It is a speed (a scalar) but not a velocity (a vector).


Is thirty meters per hour a vector quantity?

No, thirty meters per hour is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude (30 meters) and does not have direction. A vector quantity would include both magnitude and direction, such as 30 meters per hour due east.


60 miles per hour would be a Scalar quantity because it represents a Magnitude but not Direction. is true or false?

TRUE. However, if you said '60 miles per hour in a northerly direction' , then that is a vector quantity. because it has direction.


Is 30 km hour a vector or a scalar?

30 km/h is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude (30 km/h) but no direction associated with it.


Define the term velocity. what are its various units Is it a scalar or vector quantity?

Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning that it has both a magnitude and a direction. Mass, on the other hand, is a scalar quantity; it has a magnitude only. Velocity is measured in units of distance divided by time; for example, meters per second or miles per hour.


Difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is a scalar and velocity is a vector. A scalar only has magnitude while a vector has magnitude and direction. : Example: If you are traveling north at 65 miles an hour your speed is 65 miles an hour, your velocity is 65 miles an hour north. It gets a little more complicated. Speed = distance (a scalar)/time Velocity = Displacement (vector)/time Example: If you run 5 miles in an hour left and then 5 miles in a hour right your speed is 10 miles/2 hours = 5 miles an hour. However, since you end up in the same exact location as where you started your displacement is zero making your velocity zero as well. Think of it this way; since velocity is a vector it requires a direction if i ended up exactly where I started I have no direction, thus velocity must be zero. One more example to clarify: If you ran 6 miles right and 4 miles left in 2 hours, your speed will be 5 miles an hour (10/2=5) your velocity would be 1 mile an hour to the right, since displacement is 2 miles to the right (6 to right - 4 to left = 2 to right) and the time is 2 hours displacement/time = velocity; 2 to the right/2 = 1 mile to the right per hour.


If a pitcher throws a baseball such that when it leaves her hand it has a velocity vector of 0 98 in miles per hour What speed is this fastball going?

Unfortunately this question can't be answered. The reason for this, is because there is no stated direction for the 'velocity' therefore it isn't a vector quantity, it's scalar.


Give 3 examples of scaler velocity?

There is no such thing as 'scalar velocity'. Velocity is a vector, always. A quantity that tells how fast an object is moving but doesn't tell in which direction it's moving is a scalar. That quantity is called "speed". Three examples are: -- Driving 30 miles per hour. -- Running 8 miles per hour. -- Sliding 15 feet per second.
