Question

Are work and force both vectors?

Answer 1

Force IS a vector, because it has both magnitude and direction.

Work, as a form of energy, is NOT a vector, but a scalar, because it has magnitude only. It doesn't make any sense to take about the "direction" of energy, any more than you can talk about the direction of mass or volume.

Answer 2

Nd u know
W=F.d

Answer 3

Both F nd d r vectors but their result of scalar product is a scalar quantity. Right?

Answer 4

So work w is a scalar quantity

Answer 5

F=force
d=displacement

Answer 6

Force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitud and direction. For example you can say that a force of 5N is applied in the east direction. Here 5 is the magnitude of force and east gives its direction.

Work is a scalar quantity, though it is a product of two vectors: force and displacement. But you have to know that work is the dot product or scalar product of force and displacement which is written as F•S.
Scalar product of two vectors always gives a scalar quantity, which in this case, is work.

Hope you've got it!
