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
