Scalars and Vectors
Scalar quantities are the physical quantities that has only magnitude but no direction.
Example :- Length , Time , Energy , Power etc.
Vector quantities are the physical quantities that has both magnitude and direction .
Example :- Momentum , Acceleration , Force , Torque , etc .
Answer:
scalar : Length ,breadth, temperature, time, work speed, distance.
vector :weight ,area ,mass ,displacement, velocity, density ,gravitation force.
