Is 55 miles per hour a vector quantity or scalar quantity?

(55 miles per hour) is a scalar. (55 miles per hour heading north) is a vector.


Is 55 miles per hour a vector?

No. It is a speed (a scalar) but not a velocity (a vector).


Is traveling 60miles per hour a scalar or vector quantity?

60 mph is a scalar.60 mph north is a vector.


How are scalers different from vectors?

A scalar is a magnitude only (...I am driving at 60 miles per hour), while a vector is a magnitude and direction (...I am driving at 60 miles per hour, heading east).


Is thirty meters per hour a vector quantity?

No, it's a scalar quantity. ;)


Are miles per hour and seconds scalar quantities?

Miles per hour and seconds are units of measurement of speed and time respectively, which are scalar quantities.


Is thirty meters per hour is a vector quanity?

It is a scalar quantity unless you define direction, then it becomes a vector quantity.


60 miles per hour would be a Scalar quantity because it represents a Magnitude but not Direction. is true or false?

TRUE. However, if you said '60 miles per hour in a northerly direction' , then that is a vector quantity. because it has direction.


What type of measurement is 55 miles per hour?

scalar


Define the term velocity. what are its various units Is it a scalar or vector quantity?

Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning that it has both a magnitude and a direction. Mass, on the other hand, is a scalar quantity; it has a magnitude only. Velocity is measured in units of distance divided by time; for example, meters per second or miles per hour.


Give 3 examples of scaler velocity?

There is no such thing as 'scalar velocity'. Velocity is a vector, always. A quantity that tells how fast an object is moving but doesn't tell in which direction it's moving is a scalar. That quantity is called "speed". Three examples are: -- Driving 30 miles per hour. -- Running 8 miles per hour. -- Sliding 15 feet per second.


What ia an example of a vector?

North at 45 miles per hour. A vector has a direction and a magnitude.
