The quantity is either a vector or ascalar. These two categories can be distinguished from one another by their distinct definitions: Scalars arequantities 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.
Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. ... For example, displacement, velocity, and acceleration are vector quantities, while speed (the magnitude of velocity), time, and mass are scalars
