scalar
Scalar quantity is a quantity that possesses magnitude but not direction. Examples include mass, temperature, and speed.
-- A car accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the car. -- A stone accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the stone. -- A Frisbee accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the Frisbee. -- A baseball accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the baseball. -- A dog accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the dog. -- A book accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the book. -- A canoe accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the canoe. -- An airplane accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the airplane. -- A planet accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the planet. -- A cow accelerates in the direction of the net force on it, at a rate equal to the magnitude of the net force divided by the mass of the cow.
A Scalar Quantity has only magnitude whereas a Vector Quantity has magnitude as well as direction.Examples of scalar quantities are time, mass, distance, etc.
Mass is a scalar value. Scalar refers to the magnitude of the object. Vector refers to the direction. If an object is moving, it's mass is scalar and its velocity is vectorial because the velocity has a magnitude (how fast) and a direction. Hope this helps. Search Scalar and vector for the true scientific definitions.
By definition a scalar quantity has magnitude only, it has no direction. Mass is non-directional.
By definition a scalar quantity has magnitude only, it has no direction. Mass is non-directional.
No, it's a scalar measurement because it has magnitude only. A vector measurement has both a magnitude and a direction.

No, mass is not a scalar quantity. It is a scalar quantity. Scalars have only magnitude and no direction.
A scalar quantity. Scalars are physical quantities that have only magnitude and no specific direction associated with them. Examples include mass, time, temperature, and energy.
The quantity is classified as a vector. Vectors represent physical quantities that have both magnitude and direction, such as force, velocity, and acceleration. Scalars, on the other hand, only have magnitude and no direction, like mass and temperature.
