Magnitude means size. Direction means which way something is going. We use these ideas when talking about vectors like force and velocity. Velocity is speed in a particular direction. If 2 objects are travelling at a speed of 5 miles per hour, but one is going north and the other is going east, then they have different velocities.
What else can I help you with?
A vector is a quantity with magnitude and ___?
A vector is described by magnitude and direction (a scalar has only magnitude).
A force has both what?
A force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
What quantities indicate direction and magnitude?
Vector quantities indicate direction and magnitude. These quantities have both a magnitude (size) and a direction associated with them, such as velocity and force. Scalars, on the other hand, only have magnitude.
What two things does a vector quantity have?
In order to have a vector quantity, one needs to have some sort of magnitude and a direction. An example of this is velocity. Velocity is a speed in a certain direction, so velocity is a vector, but speed is not. These words are commonly misused in society, and used interchageably with one another.
Who has both magnitude and direction?
Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Examples include force, velocity, and acceleration. These quantities are represented by arrows where the length of the arrow represents the magnitude and the direction of the arrow represents the direction.
A vector is a quantity with magnitude and ___?
A vector is described by magnitude and direction (a scalar has only magnitude).
Displacement has both magnitude and what?
Magnitude and Direction :) -hayley
What does every force have?
A magnitude, direction and sense of direction. it has an equal and opposite force too. eather way it also has a magnitude, direction and sense of direction.
A velocity vector tells you two things?
Speed (which is a magnitude), and the direction.Speed (which is a magnitude), and the direction.Speed (which is a magnitude), and the direction.Speed (which is a magnitude), and the direction.
A force has both what?
A force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
What quantities indicate direction and magnitude?
Vector quantities indicate direction and magnitude. These quantities have both a magnitude (size) and a direction associated with them, such as velocity and force. Scalars, on the other hand, only have magnitude.
Why is speed scalar?
because it has a magnitude but no direction, whereas vector quantities have a magnitude and a direction.
What are the types of measurement?
Vectors and Scolars Vectors: have an magnitude and a direction Scolars: have an magnitude but have no direction
Is speed a scalar?
because it has a magnitude but no direction, whereas vector quantities have a magnitude and a direction.
Does speed have magnitude only?
No, speed is a scalar quantity that only has magnitude and no direction. It is the rate at which an object covers distance. Velocity, on the other hand, is a vector quantity that includes both magnitude and direction.

What is An arrow drawn to represent the direction and magnitude of an object is referred to as?
There is no such thing as the direction or magnitude of an object. The direction and magnitude of its speed, acceleration, or momemtum, or of the forces on it, are represented by vectors.
