Question

what is difference btween vector and scalar

Answer 1

Vector quantity has a particular direction
..But scalar quantity has no particular direction

Answer 2

Hi there!

Here are the differences between scalar and vector quantities :

!! SCALAR !!

♦ A physical quantity which has only magnitude is known as scalar quantity.

♦ For ex: mass, length, time, work, etc.

♦ Scalars obey algebraic rules for the operations like addition and multiplication.

♦ A scalar can divide another scalar.

!! VECTOR !!

♦ A physical quantity which has magnitude as well as direction is known as vector quantity.

♦ For ex: velocity, displacement, acceleration, etc.

♦ Vectors obey vector algebra for the operations like addition and multiplication.

♦ Two vectors can never divide each other.
