Question

What is meant by scalars and vectors​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is your Answer!

Explanation:

Quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude and a direction. Scalar quantities have only a magnitude. When comparing two vector quantities of the same type, you have to compare both the magnitude and the direction.

Answer 2

Answer:

There are three types of Physical Quantities.

Scalar: The one with only magnitude, and sometimes unit. Eg, mass(kg), moles, length, time, etc.

Vector: A quantity which

1. has magnitude (and sometimes unit)
2. has direction
3. obeys vector law of addition
4. eg, Velocity, Displacement, Area, etc

Tensor: A little is known. Don't bother learning tensors.
