define vector quantity and scalar quantity in simple word with example
Answers
Answer:
Scalars are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone.
Vectors are quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.
Explanation:
A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time.
A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction. Vector quantities are important in the study of motion. Some examples of vector quantities include force, velocity, acceleration, displacement, and momentum.
Scalar quantity examples:- length, time, distance,area,speed, temperature,energy, power and mass
Vector quantity examples:- displacement, velocity, acceleration,weight and momentum.
hope it helps plz mark as brilliant.
Answer:
Quantity having both magnitude and direction Is called a vector quantity. Like Displacement it hava magnitude as well as have specific direction
But the quantity having only magnitude but the direction is not confirmed is called as scaler quantity.like speed,distance. etc.
