Such a quantity is called a vector.
A shining example is velocity itself.
velocity is the rate of change of displacement- the distance moved by particle in a specified direction.
Since velocity = displacement/time taken = vector/scalar, Velocity thus has both a direction and a magnitude (magnitude = speed of particle)
Another examples include quantities such as Force, acceleration, displacement

∙ 12y agoa vector. a vector has a magnitude and direction for example force is a vector and mass is a scalar quantity (just a magnitude). this is shown by F=Ma M being the magnitude and a being the direction.

A force has both what?
A force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Velocity is a measure of both an object's speed and its what?
Direction. Velocity is a vector quantity. Vectors have a scalar size and a vector direction.
Something that must be described with both a size and a direction?
A vector quantity (velocity, etc.)
A vector is a quantity that has?
A size or direction
A physical quantity described by both magnitude and direction is called what?
A physical quantity that is specified by both magnitude and direction is a vector by definition.
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.
If vector is a quantity that has both size and direction?
... then what is the question?
A force has both what?
A force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
What is a quantity that is specified by size and direction?
. Velocity Acceleration
Velocity is a measure of both an object's speed and its what?
Direction. Velocity is a vector quantity. Vectors have a scalar size and a vector direction.
Something that must be described with both a size and a direction?
A vector quantity (velocity, etc.)
A vector is a quantity that has?
A size or direction
What is displacement in physical?
Displacement is a vector quantity. This means it has both size AND direction. Therefore, displacement is defined as distance in a given direction. Rather then simply 'distance'. Distance itself is a scalar quantity... and only has size. No direction. 20m - Distance. 20m upwards - Displacement.
A physical quantity described by both magnitude and direction is called what?
A physical quantity that is specified by both magnitude and direction is a vector by definition.
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.
What is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction?
This is known as a vector quantity.
Quantities have both a magnitude and direction?
A quantity with both magnitude and direction is a Vector quantity.
