Question

define scalar quantity and vector quantity with example​

Answer 1

A vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. You can tell if a quantity is a vector by whether or not it has a direction associated with it. Example: Speed is a scalar quantity, but velocity is a vector that specifies both a direction as well as a magnitude.

Answer 2

Answer:

DEFINITION OF SCALAR QUANTITY -

One-dimensional physical quantity described by a single element of aal quantity that only has magnitude, possibly a sign, and no other characteristics. This is in contrast to vectors, tensors, etc. which are described by several numbers that characterize their magnitude, direction and so on.

DEFINITION OF VECTOR QUANTITY -

By definition a vector quantity is a physical quantity with magnitude and direction, whereas, a scalar quantity only has magnitude. For example, displacement, force etc are vector quantity.

Explanation:

A SCALER QUANTITY -

1) A scalar quantity - is defined as the physical quantity that has only magnitude, for example, mass and electric charge.

2) Examples - Of scalar quantities include time , volume , speed, mass , temperature , distance, entropy, energy , work etc.

…

A VECTOR QUANTITY -

1) Vector quantity - is defined as the physical quantity that has both, magnitude as well as direction like force and weight.

2) Examples - Of vector quantities include acceleration , velocity , momentum , force , increase and decrease in temperature , weight etc.
