Question

What is the difference between a scalar and vector quantity?

Answer 1

Answer:

The quantity is either a vector or a scalar. These two categories can be distinguished from one another by their distinct definitions: Scalars are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone. Vectors are quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.

pls mark me brainliest

Answer 2

Answer:

Scalar has no direction...only magnitude is there

Vector has magnitude as well as direction

Like if I say you to apply 5N force ...you will ask 5N force where up down east or west or north or south ?

therefore it is a vector

however if I ask you what is your mass?

you will tell x kg

now you don't need any direction

so it is a scalar quantity....
