Scalars and Vectors
A scalar quantity or briefly a scalar has a magnitude but is not related to any direction in space.
The fig. shows the liquids filled in a beaker and a bowl. The volume that this liquid occupies is a scalar as it has only magnitude and there is no direction.
Here in this fig. we see a thermometer is placed in a glass fill with liquid. With temperature of the liquid is shown in the thermometer is a scalar.
Mass is a scalar Quantity. Every real no is a scalar.
A vector is a physical Quantity which requires both magnitude and direction for its representation. Velocity is a vector.
Here we see motion of cars in different directions with common speed they are the examples of the vector.
Displacement is another example of a vector. Here we see the triangle ABC is shifted to a new position A dash, B dash, C dash. Movement of triangle ABC to new position A dash B dash C dash is an example of a vector.
