A scalar, which is a tensor of rank 0, is just a number, e.g. 6
A vector, which is a tensor of rank 1, is a group of scalars, e.g. [1, 6, 3]
A matrix, which is a tensor of rank 2, is a group of vectors, e.g.
1 6 3
9 4 2
0 1 3
A tensor of rank 3 would be a group of matrix and would look like a 3d matrix.
A tensor is the general term for all of these, and the generalization into high dimensions.

What is diff between matrices and determinants?
actually MATRICES is the plural of matrix which means the array of numbers in groups and columns in a rectangular table... and determinant is used to calculate the magnitude of a matrix....
What is the condition for the addition of matrices?
The matrices must have the same dimensions.
Do all matrices have determinant?
Only square matrices have a determinant
What are matrices made of?
In mathematics matrices are made up of arrays of elements.
What is the magnitude of the size change of the figures formed by these matrices?
There are no matrices in the question!
What do you mean by tensor?
Tensors are geometric objects that describe linear relations between vectors, scalars, and other tensors.
What is difference between vector and tensor?
Tensors are simply arrays of numbers, or functions, that transform according to certain rules under a change of coordinates. Scalars and vectors are tensors of order 0 and 1 respectively. So a vector is a type of tensor. An example of a tensor of order 2 is an inertia matrix. And just for fun, the Riemann curvature tensor is a tensor of order 4.
Can the elimnation matrices only be applied to square matrices?
Only square matrices have inverses.

What is the two types of physical quantities?
Generally there are two types of physical quantities. One without direction known as scalars other with direction known as vectors. While there are other physical quantities as well that cannot be classified under the two above mentioned categories, they are tensors, matrices, spinors and quaternions.
