Vectors and Scalars
Introduction:
In this class, the basic concept of vector and scalar will be discussed. A quantity which is completely described only
when both their magnitude and direction are specified is known as vector.
Examples of vector are force, velocity, acceleration, displacement, torque,
momentum, gravitational force, electric and magnetic intensities etc. A quantity which is completely specified by a
certain number associated with a suitable unit without any mention of direction
in space is known as scalar. Examples of scalar are time, mass, length, volume,
density, temperature, energy, distance, speed etc.
