Is age a vector or scalar?

Answer 1

Scalar. The simple reason is unlike velocity or other vector quantities, it doesn't have a direction, it has a fixed path. Like; age cannot decrease but only increase in the same way for each person.

Answer 2

It depends on how you view time, if you believe time can go forwards and backwards it is a vector quantity. If you do not, than it is a scalar quantity because there would be no direction associated with it.

Answer 3

Age is scalar and not vector as unlike velocity or other vector quantities it doesn't have a direction and has a fixed path. Like; age cannot decrease but only increase in the same way for each person.

Answer 4

Age is a scalar quantity because it only has a magnitude (numerical value) without any specific direction. Vectors have both magnitude and direction, while scalars have only magnitude.
