Since velocity and displacement are both vectors, what is necessary to fully describe them.?

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

@kl0723

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Direction only Magnitude only the shape of movement magnitude and direction

OpenStudy (kl0723):

Magnitude and Direction, on the other hand Scalars only describe Magnitude ;)

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

aha oks i have like 4 more s: i have been putting this assingment off aha because vectors

OpenStudy (kl0723):

:P

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

HOw are scalers and vectors connected. Vector is the opposite of a scalar. No connection A vector is a scalor plus a direction a scalor is a vector plus a direction

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

I was thinking a or c because a vector is displacement and direction. When scalar is volume and such

OpenStudy (kl0723):

they're not opposite :P

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

erg but if scalar is maginitude and vector is direction >.< The only thing i would think woud be C

OpenStudy (kl0723):

C is correct but Vector is not only direction is a Magnitude that accounts for direction

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

What exactly is scalar then

OpenStudy (kl0723):

is just a magnitude :P

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

just go through them.. @DarkBlueChocobo

OpenStudy (darkbluechocobo):

Thank for posting that that explained a lot

OpenStudy (mayankdevnani):

example of scalar quantity :- DISTANCE ,because distance does not have any direction,that's what exactly scalar quantity is. example of vector quantity :- DISPLACEMENT ,because displacement have its direction,depend upon PATH CHOSEN,and that's exactly vector quantity is.
