What is the quantity as acalar or vector?
A vector quantity has both size (magnitude) and direction involved but a scalar quantity only has size involved and not direction.
Speed plus direction is what?
Speed is a measure of how fast an object is going. This is a scalar quantity, which means it only gives magnitude (size) information. Velocity is a vector quantity, which is very similar to speed, but it also includes direction information.Example:Speed of car = 60 km/hVelocity of car = 60 km/h in a Northwesterly direction
What two quantities are necessary for a vector quantity?
a vector quantity has both direction (sign) and magnitude like displacement towards right or left (direction) and has a certain value (magnitude)
Is velocity a scalar quantity or vector quantity?
Velocity is a vector.Its magnitude is called 'speed'.
What word means the use of units to find a size of quantity?
To measure, or measuring is the use of units to find a size of quantity
What is the quantity as acalar or vector?
A vector quantity has both size (magnitude) and direction involved but a scalar quantity only has size involved and not direction.
What is scaler quantities and vector quantities?
scalar quantity has only magnitude whereas vector quantity has magnitude as well as direction
What describes a vector?
A vector is a mathematical quantity that has a magnitude (size) as well as a direction.Its magnitude and direction.
A vector is a quantity that has?
A size or direction
What does scaler mean?
A scaler quantity is one with magnitude (size) only. ie. not direction dependent. Speed is a scaler quantity, however, velocity is a vector quantity, it has size and direction.
If vector is a quantity that has both size and direction?
... then what is the question?
Shape is classified as a scalar or vector quantity or neither?
A scalar quantity is a physical measure of size--or extent--,while, on the other hand, a vector quantity is a physical measurement of size--or extent--AND direction. A shape has size--or extent--but does not have direction; and I would, therefore, classify it as having a scalar quantity
What are properties of a vector quantity?
A vector quantity not only has a size, it also has a direction. Velocity is a vector quantity. "30 mph north" and "30 mph east" are different velocities. "Speed" is a part of velocity ... its size alone, without its direction, so speed is not a vector quantity.
Is speed velocity in a given direction?
Yes , speed in a given direction is called velocity. Velocity is a vector quantity that is it has both magnitude as well as direction.
What is Any Quantity That Has Size And Direction Called?
That's called a vector.
What is a quantity that is specified by size and direction?
. Velocity Acceleration
What does it mean to say that momentum is a vector quantity and that energy is a scalar quantity?
In a vector quantity, it is important to specify a direction. In a scalar quantity, it isn't. Vectors (such as force) have a magnitude (size) and a direction (such as North). Scalars have only a magnitude.
