Can you graphically represent a vector which has magnitude but no direction?
If a quantity does not have a direction, its a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity.
What quantity requires both magnitude and direction?
Vectors need both magnitude and direction.
Physical meaning of vector?
A quantity involving direction and magnitude is called physically vector A quantity involving direction and magnitude is called physically vector
Why is an electric field strength a vector quantity?
for a vector quantity it must have both magnitude and direction and since it has both magnitude and direction it is therefore considered a vector
What do you mean by vectare Quantity give example?
A vector quantity refers to a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Some examples of vector quantities include velocity (speed and direction), force (magnitude and direction), and displacement (distance and direction).
Is speed a scalar quantity or vector quantity?
Speed is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude but not direction, velocity is a vector quantity because it has magnitude and direction.
A force has both what?
A force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Is distance a vector or scalar quantity?
Distance is a sclar quantity. A scalar quantity is a magnitude only. A vector has magnitude and direction. Distance AND direction is a vector quantity.
What is a quantity having magnitude and direction?
vector Quantity
What is a quantity that has a magnitude and direction?
A vector quantity
What is a scalar quantity explain with eg?
A Scalar Quantity is a physical quantity which has only magnitude and no direction associated with it . For eg,mass is a scalar quantity beause it has only magnitude (say 5 kg)but has no direction in which the magnitude acts towards.on the other hand a physical quantity which has both magnitude and direction is called a vector quantity.like weight is a vector quantity because it has magnitude along with direction(i.e. it always acts in the downward direction.
A physical quantity described by both magnitude and direction is called what?
A physical quantity that is specified by both magnitude and direction is a vector by definition.
Can you graphically represent a vector which has magnitude but no direction?
If a quantity does not have a direction, its a scalar quantity, not a vector quantity.
A vector is a quantity with magnitude and ___?
A vector is described by magnitude and direction (a scalar has only magnitude).
A quantity that has magnitude and direction?
Velocity.
What quantity has a magnitude but no direction?
scalar
Is speed a scalar quantity?
speed has only magnitude but no direction associate to it, if you consider velocity it consists of magnitude along with the direction. Hence speed is considered as a scalar quantity
