tension is a vector!(At first I thought it was a scalar too but this afternoon it was in our physics quiz,I answered scalar but I got it wrong because tension is a vector).
this is the explanation:
tension is the force producing such deformation.
anything with force is a vector.Force always has direction.
Tension is by definition a scalar as it is only the magnitude of a force.
Stress is a tensor. It has 9 components, each of which has a magnitude (a scalar) and
two directions associated with it.
surface tension is a scalar quantity because it has no specific direction.
Distance is a scalar. But displacement is a vector.
Since you can represent that with a single number, it isn't a vector - just a scalar.
vector
it is scalar
surface tension is a scalar quantity because it has no specific direction.
scalar lol
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
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.
current is vector or scalar

scalar direction is a vector quantity

Distance is a scalar. But displacement is a vector.
An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.
