SCALAR QUANTITY : Quantities which do not require direction to express themselves completely , they can be fully expressed only with help of their magnitude .
Ex . distance and mass
VECTOR QUANTITY : Quantities which do require direction as well as magnitude to express themselves completely are called vector quantities
They are neither added nor multipled like scalars
Ex . Displacement and velocity

Heya mate, Here is ur answer
In physics, A quantity that has only magnitude is known as Scalar quantity; For example-- speed.
We say He was moving at a speed of 60 km/hr.
Here, only magnitude is present.
Whereas, a quantity with both magnitude and direction is known as Vector quantity ; for example--Velocity.
We say, Car was moving with a velocity of 70 km/hr towards North.
Here, 70 km /hr is giving the magnitude of speed by which car is moving . But the North is giving the direction in which it is moving.
Any change to either magnitude or direction or the both will change the velocity.
