Question

Differentiate between scalar and vector quantities.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Scalars are physical quantities which depend only on magnitude and follow normal laws of adittion and subraction.

Where as vectors depend both on magnitude and direction and follow vector law of adittion and subraction.

Answer 2

Explanation:

${\huge{\bold{\orange{\underline{Answer:}}}}}$

SCALAR QUANTITYdefined by only one element referred to as magnitude, without which there is no scalar quantity. Therefore, a scalar is usually said to be a physical quantity that only has magnitude and no other characteristics. Magnitude means the size of the quantity such as length or strength.

A vector quantity can be defined by two elements, magnitude and direction. Without these two elements a physical quantity cannot be defined as a vector. Therefore, a vector quantity can be defined as a physical quantity that comprises of both magnitude and direction. Magnitude means the size of the quantity such as length or strength. Direction means the position where the vector is pointing to or where it is being directed such as left or right, east, west, north or south (up or down).
