All quantities can be one of two types:
A scalar
A vector
Scalars
Scalar quantities have only a magnitude
Mass is an example of a scalar quantity because it has magnitude without direction
Energy and volume are also examples of scalar quantities
Vectors
Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction
Weight is an example of a vector quantity because it is a force and therefore has both magnitude and direction
Acceleration and momentum are also examples of vector quantities
scalar quantity examples :- density , displacement , time , velocity , mass etc
vector quantity examples :- force , weight , momentum , volume , area etc
What is the dot product of two vectors, and how is it calculated?
What is the cross product of two vectors, and how is it different from the dot product?
How do you resolve a vector into its components?
What are some real-life applications of vectors?
How do you represent vectors graphically?
What is the difference between distance and displacement?
What is the difference between speed and velocity?
Is gravity a scalar or vector quantity?
With reference to the examples given here, can you explain how displacement and velocity are scalar quantities, and volume and area are vector quantities?
