Answer 1

Answer:

A quantity that has magnitude but no particular direction is described as scalar. A quantity that has magnitude and acts in a particular direction is described as vector.

Answer 2

$\rm\underline\bold{Answer \purple{\huge{\checkmark}}}$

Difference between scalar and vector quantity:-

• Scalar has only the magnitude while vector has direction and magnitude
• scalar is only one dimensional while vector is multidimensional.
• scalar quantity changes with the change in magnitude while vector is changes with magnitude and direction
• Normal rules of algebra are applicable in scalar quantity while There is a different set of rules known as vector algebra.
• One scalar quantity can divide another scalar while One vector cannot divide another vector.
• In the example of speed, time, etc, the distance between the points is a scalar quantity, not the direction while Velocity could be an example because it is a measurement of the rate of change of an object’s position
