Velocity is a vector quantity, and the main difference between scalar and vector quantities lies in their definitions and characteristics.
- Scalar Quantity:
- Scalars are quantities that have only magnitude (size) and no direction.
- Examples of scalar quantities include mass, temperature, time, and speed (when not considering direction).
2. Vector Quantity:
- Vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction.
- Examples of vector quantities include displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force.
