Question

what is magnitude.. i want a clear definition on it and a brief explanation....
pls tell......

Answer 1

In physics, magnitude is the size of thing
While in movement, magnitude is the speed by which an object is moving. Speed is the magnitude of the movement. To describe velocity, both magnitude and direction are required. the magnitude is represented by the length of the arrow.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak\green{AnsweR:-}$

Magnitude generally refers to the quantity or distance. In relation to the movement, we can correlate magnitude with the size and speed of the object while travelling.

The size of the object or the amount is its magnitude. Like in case of speed, a car is travelling faster than a motorbike. In this case, the magnitude of the speed of the car is more than that of motorbike.

Magnitude in physics:-

We have basically two types of quantity- scalars and vectors. Both of them have a magnitude in common. Scalar quantities have specific magnitude with the proper unit. Some of the scalar quantities are mass of an object, temperature of a body, time of the event, and the distance between the two points.

We can combine their magnitudes with the ordinary rule of algebra having the same unit. We can add, subtract, divide and multiply the magnitudes of scalar quantity, just as the ordinary number.
