A measurement without direction, meaning that it is only a magnitude (as opposed to vector which has magnitude and direction). E.g, a speed of 5km/h is a scalar while a velocity of 19m/s west is a vector.
Scalars are a type of number that have size (but not direction like vectors).

What are difference between scalars and vectors?
What are difference between scalars and vectors
One difference between vectors and scalars?
Vectors have a direction associated with them, scalars do not.
How are vectors and scalars similar?
They both have a magnitude (size).
Why can't we add or subtract vectors like scalars?
Because scalars do not take in the direction but just the magnitude while vectors can. You can add vectors ONLY if they are in the same direction.
How are scalar and vector different?
Vectors have direction. Scalars don't.

One difference between vectors and scalars?
Vectors have a direction associated with them, scalars do not.
Are vectors and scalars the same?
No, scalars and vectors are not the same. Scalars are measurements in numbers. Examples: work, energy, mass, speed, and distance. Scalars measure in one magnitude. Vectors measure velocity, acceleration, force, and momentum.
Is it possible the add a vector and scalar?
no!!!only scalars and scalars and only vectors and vectors can be added.
Is space a vector or scalars?
Measurable quantities are vectors or scalars. "Space" is not a measurable quantity. "Volume" is. It's a scalar.
Why is the difference between scalars and vectors important?
Without the difference between scalars and vectors the Universe doesn't work !
Do vectors have quantity?
Both scalars and vectors have quantity. The difference is a vector has quantity and direction, whereas scalars only have quantity.
Can Vectors be added together scalar quantities cannot?
Vectors can be added to other vectors in the same vector space. Scalars can be added to other scalars if they have the same units. Scalars cannot be added to vectors, nor vice versa, directly.
Are the rules of adding vectors and scalars the same?
no
How are scalars and vectors simi?
They both have magnitude.
What are the two kinds of measure?
vectors and scalars.....
What are two kind of measurement?
