Magnitude and direction.
Wind force is considered a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. The strength of the wind is the magnitude of the force, and the direction of the wind indicates the direction of the force. This makes wind force suitable for representation as a vector in physics.
Definitely. In fact, you always see TV weathermen completely describe the wind vector."Winds are from the North at 27."There's the vector . . . magnitude = 27, direction is from north to south.You'll never hear a radio or TV weatherman say "Winds are 20 miles an hour."and leave it at that.At least not the same weatherman for a second time.
An example of a free vector is wind force as it has both magnitude and direction. This vector can be represented by an arrow pointing in the direction of the wind with a length corresponding to the strength of the wind.
A vector is a quantity with both magnitude (strength) and direction. Like a force having a strength in pounds and a direction. Or a wind having magnitude (in mph) and direction (Northeast). A scalar has only magnitude. Like the length of a segment or amount of peanuts in a jar. Scalars are just numbers.
The quantity of wind energy refers to the amount of energy produced by harnessing wind power through wind turbines. This quantity can vary depending on factors such as wind speed, turbine efficiency, and the number of turbines installed in a given area. Global wind energy capacity is increasing as more wind farms are being developed to capture this renewable energy source.

Wind velocity is vector quantity. direction is also important.
Any sailor or pilot will tell you that knowing the speed of the wind doesn't do them much good unless they also know its direction. That's a pretty strong indication that wind is a vector phenomenon.
Frequency is a scalar quantity,now comes the question how to decide which one is scalar and which one is vector,scalar quantities are those which only have values and we can't assosciate any direction to them ,whereas,vector quantities are those which have values as well as directions assosciated with them.For example,time is a scalar quantity because we say its 10:30 pm we never say its 10:30 pm south-west,where as if we say the wind is blowing at 30 m/sec towards north(this particular thing is called velocity)then it is a vector quantity. some more examples:-300 degree celcius(scalar),76.8%(scalar),5 meters north(vector)
Why would wind direction be a vector? These quantities should be the same size. You could combine them into wind velocity, which would be a vector.

A vector has magnitude and direction. You can specify the direction with an angle, then the magnitude depends on what you're measuring (force, velocity, etc.) The direction could also be something specific to the quantity measured, like saying the wind is blowing 15 miles per hour to the Northwest.
At each point in space, the wind has a velocity, which is a vector. Another way of saying the same thing is that at each point, the wind blows at a certain speed and in a certain direction.
Yes, "the wind was scything up a nice Wyoming howler" is an example of personification because it attributes a human action (scything) to the wind. This creates a vivid image of the wind's force and movement.
Yes, good example.
