Solution
Scalar quantities: Scalar quantities have been characterized by magnitude and have no corresponding direction. They are physical quantities that are represented solely by magnitude as well as size.
Example: Length, speed, work, mass, density, etc.
Vector quantities: Vector quantities are physical quantities that are distinguished mostly by the existence of both magnitude and direction. However, they must have both magnitudes as well as the direction of activity.
