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.

What has vector?

Force, velocity, acceleration, and displacement are vectors. Mass, temperature, time, cost, and speed are scalars (not vectors).

no!!!only scalars and scalars and only vectors and vectors can be added.


A quantity that has magnitude only is a?

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.


How are scalar and vector different?

Vectors have direction. Scalars don't.


Do vectors have quantity?

Both scalars and vectors have quantity. The difference is a vector has quantity and direction, whereas scalars only have quantity.


Is heat a scalar or vector?

Heat is energy. It and temperature are both scalars.


Does every scalar quantity has its vector counterpart?

Not every scalar quantity has a vector counterpart. Scalars are quantities that have magnitude only, such as temperature or mass, while vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction, like velocity or force. Some scalar quantities simply do not have a corresponding vector counterpart.


What are some types of scalars?

Some examples of scalars include temperature, speed, mass, and energy. Scalars are physical quantities that have a magnitude but no direction.


What is quantities that has magnitude only?

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.


Will a vector multiplied by another vector result in another vector?

It depends on the angle between the vectors (AB). The product of two vectors Av and Bv is AvBv=-Av.Bv + AvxBv= |AvBv|(-cos(Ab) + vsin(AB)). If the angle is a odd multiple of 90 degrees the product is a vector. If he angle is an even multiple of 90 degrees, the product is a scalar. If he angle is not a multiple of 90 degrees, the product of a vector by another vector is a quaternion, the sum of a scalar and a vector. Most numbers in physics and science are quaternions, a combination of scalars and vectors.Quaternions forma mathematical Group, vectors don't. The product of quaternions is always a quaternion. The product of vectors may not be a vector, it may be a vector , a scalar or both. The product of scalars is also a Group. Vector by themselves do not form a Group. The Order of Numbers are Scalars form a Group called Real Numbers; scalars and a single vector form a group called complex numbers; scalars and three vectors form a group called Quaternions. These are the only Groups that provide an Associative Division Algebra.


Is a vector quality is always the same as a scalar quality?

No, a vector quantity has both magnitude and direction, while a scalar quantity has only magnitude. Examples of vector quantities include force and velocity, which need both the size and direction to describe them accurately. Scalars like mass or temperature only have a magnitude.
