Question

what is a scalar and vector quantity????? pls. answer me with some egs.

Answer 1

scaler means having magnitude but no direction
example- temperature,volume,energy,etc
vector means having both scaler and vector quntity
example-acceleration,displacement,force,etc

Answer 2

Mass is a scalar quantity
Scalar quantities have magnitude and they add algebraic way.
But in Vectors they are quantities with direction also and they add according to Vector Law.
Current also has direction but it doesn't add according to vector Law.
Velocity, Displacement are some Examples

Answer 3

THANK U DUDE!!!

Answer 4

A scalar only has magnitude. Such an example is energy. energy has no direction.
A vector has both magnitude and direction. All forces are vectors.

Answer 5

scalar quantity has only magnitude
but vector quantity has both magnitude and direction

Answer 6

physical quantites are divided into two , scalar and vector quantities. scalar means it has magnitude ( value) 0nly.vector quantities has both magnitude and direction. temperature, heat mass etc are scalar. velocity, displacement etc are vector quantities. there are scalar addition, vector addition , multiplications, substractions help to solve more physical problems.

Answer 7

dilindineshan note that there are things such as tensors. physical quantities need not be only scalar or vector.
