Is position a vector or scalar?

Answer 1

Yes, it is a vector quantity.

Answer 2

No. Position provides the "location" of an object. It is not a vector because it has no direction. It is a "place" in this usage, and it only has direction if you have a reference. It is possible to draw the location of something in 2D or 3D space using vector notation, but we usually don't do that. A vector quantity is a quantity that has both magnitude (an amount) and direction (which way something is acting). A car heading east on the freeway at 60 miles per hour is said to have a speed of 60 mph and a velocity of 60 mph east. Velocity is a vector quantity; it has both magnitude and direction. Speed (distance per unit of time) has only magnitude. In the case of gravity, it is a force, and it is a vector quantity having both magnitude and direction. For earth, the gravity (9.8 m/sec2) is expressed as g here on the planet, and it has a "down" direction of action.

Answer 3

Position is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude (distance from a reference point) and direction (along a specific axis).

Answer 4

Position is Vector, not scalar.
