What are the parameters required to express scalar and vector quantities?


Open in App
Solution

  1. 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.
  2. Example: Length, speed, work, mass, density, etc.
  3. 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.
  4. Example: Displacement, force, torque, etc.
