what is Vector?.
tell me
Answers
A quantity having direction as well as magnitude, especially as determining the position of one point in space relative to another.
Answer:
Vector = objects having both magnitude and direction.
Explanation:
Vector quantities are those quantities which have magnitude and direction, i.e both magnitude and direction are required for describing a vector quantity.
On the other hand, scalar quantities are the quantities which have only magnitude (no direction). Thus we could say that a scalar quantity having a particular direction specified is a vector quantity. For example, when distance (scalar quantity) is specified with direction, then it becomes displacement (vector quantity). Similarly, speed is a scalar quantity but velocity is a vector quantity.... other examples of vector quantities are: force, acceleration, momentum, etc. Also, adding the vectors requires the vector law of addition as the direction plays an important role.
