DISTINGUISH BETWEEN Scalar quantity and Vector quantity
Answers
Answer:
Scalar quantity:
1. They can be expressed in magnitude only.
2. Scalars can be added by arithmetic means.
3. They cannot be plotted easily on the graph.
4. Ex : Length, area, volume, speed, etc,.
Vector quantity:
1. They can be expressed in magnitude and direction.
2. Vectors cannot be added by simple arithmetic means.
3. They can be plotted on the graph.
4. Ex : Displacement, velocity, force, weight, etc,.
Answer:
1) A scalar quantity has only magnitude, but no direction.
1) Vector quantity has both magnitude and direction. It changes with the change in their direction or magnitude or both.
2) A scalar quantity is a one dimensional measurement of a quantity, like temperature, or mass.
2) A vector has more than one number associated with it.
