What is meant by scalar and vector?
Basically, a scalar magnitude is one in which the direction is not relevant; a vector magnitude is one in which the direction is relevant. A scalar can be represented by a single real number; a vector requires at least two numbers (for example, the x-component and the y-component; or alternately a magnitude and a direction).
How many components have a vector?
It is the other way round - it's the vector that has components.In general, a vector can have one or more components - though a vector with a single component is often called a "scalar" instead - but technically, a scalar is a special case of a vector.
Is the number of leaves on a tree scalar or vector?
scalar lol
What is a scalar times a vector?
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
Is inertia is a scalar or vector?
vector
What is scalar vector?
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
Is AC a vector or scalar quantity?
current is vector or scalar
Is speed a component of scalar?
Yes, velocity would be the vector companion of speed, as velocity must have a direction.
Why vector quantities cannot be added and subtracted like scalar quantities?
Mainly because they aren't scalar quantities. A vector in the plane has two components, an x-component and a y-component. If you have the x and y components for each vector, you can add them separately. This is very similar to the addition of scalar quantities; what you can't add directly, of course, is their lengths. Similarly, a vector in space has three components; you can add each of the components separately.
