what is difference between vector and scalar with examples and components of vector
Answers
A scalar quantity is a one dimensional measurement of a quantity, like temperature, or mass. A vector has more than one number associated with it. A simple example is velocity. It has a magnitude, called speed, as well as a direction, like North or Southwest or 10 degrees west of North.
Hey Buddy,Good Morning!
The main difference between scalar and vector quantity are:-
1)Scalar quantity has only magnitude but Vector has both magnitude and Direction.
2)Scalar quantity can be represented by small letters like a,b,c... but vectors are represented by An arrow Head on it. Like
---> -->
A , B
Where The tail or the line represents the magnitude,arrow represents particular direction.Note that vectors also can be represented by Capital letters like A,B,C ....
3)Scalar quantity can never be negative but vectors can be negative,positive & Zero also.
4)Example of scalar quantity is Distance. Vector is an example of vector quantity.
