i think you mean a scaler quantity.
a scaler quantity is something that is measured without a directional component to it.
ie. mass, temperature, speed
it could be negative value but the negative means its value. you can use a scale to measure scaler quantity.
then there is vector quantities which have a direction to it.
ie. velocity
because something like velocity is 10m/s east OR -10m/s
here the negative it is not a value but a direction (if 10m/s is to the right then -10m/s is to the left)
don't confuse this with speed because speed is scaler it is just magnitude or value only.
velocity is the displacement over time so it have a direction aswell.
hope this helps
a value or component that may be expressed in numbers.
If you live in the United States, probably pounds. If you live anywhere else, probably kilograms.
Any quantity for which a direction is relevant.Any quantity for which a direction is relevant.Any quantity for which a direction is relevant.Any quantity for which a direction is relevant.
Constant is a quantity that does not change.
If a quantity does not have a direction, its a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity.
to measure a quantity
A scale factor is a number which scales, or multiplies, some quantity. A scale factor of two would mean to multiply whatever it is by two.
There is no need for a scale on a pie chart because the sizes of the slices are proportional to the percentage of the quantity pictured by the graph.
it is scalar as readings on Any scale is scalar.
A balanced scale, which compares the mass of one object with that of a known quantity.

An example of a quantity of time is the second. Other examples are the minute and hour. You could go on and on - day, month, year, etc.
A vector is a quantity with a direction that matters, like force, velocity, acceleration, etc. A scalar is a quantity with no direction, like temperature, cost, mass, etc.
A balanced scale, which compares the mass of one object with that of a known quantity.
In layman's terms "mass" means weight. The measurement is expressed in grams, and to measure mass, a scale is used.
