1. Scalars and Vectors

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Scalar quantity : Fully described by its magnitude or numerical value alone.
  • Vector quantity : Fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.

★ Must-know

📌 Distance is the scalar length traveled, whereas displacement is directed distance with a specified direction.

Further detail

  • Mass, density, temperature, distance, speed, area, height, and rainfall amount are scalar quantities, whereas force, acceleration, velocity, displacement, and weight are vector quantities.
