Understanding scalar and vector quantities

In this unit you should be able to

1. define scalar and vector quantities
   
2. give examples of scalar and vector quantities.

Difference between scalar and vector quantities ,

1. Scalar quantities are quantities that have magnitude but no direction.

2. Vector quantities are quantities that have both magnitude and direction.

Examples of scalar and vector quantities:

Scalar Quantities	Vector Quantities
Distance	Displacement
Speed	Velocity
Work	Acceleration
Area	Force
Length	Momentum
