what type of quantities are time ,area,force
Answers
Both force and area are regarded as vector quantities. Vector quantities has both magnitude and direction.
And time is a scalar quantity.
Good question!!
First know about Types of quantities!!
On the basis of Magnitude and Directions the quantities are two types:-
1) Scalar quantity:- The quantity having mass but no direction is called scalar quantity.
Eg:- Time,area,length,mass etc.
2) Vector quantity:- The quantity having both magnitude and direction as well as follow the vector's law of addition and subtraction is called vector quantity.
Now ,from above definition we can see that:-
*Time :- It has magnitude only but no direction hence,it is a Scalar
quantity.
* Area:- it has magnitude but no direction hence it is also a Scalar quantity.
* Force :- It has both magnitude and direction hence ,it is vector quantity.
