Heya!!


To be simple,


Scalar quantities have only magnitude, they don't have any direction.

For example, time, temperature.
U say how much time is it, but never say time in some direction or how much the temperature is but not in which direction the temperature is.


Vector quantities are those which have both magnitude and direction.

For example,  Distance,
work.

u may say 20km distance is travelled in some direction like upwards, or north etc or  30 J work is done towards the body(which indicates a direction)

Hope this helps u buddy!!  :))
If yes, pls mark me as brainliest ☺☺☺
