A vector quantity can be described in many different units, because there are many different vector quantities. For example, a distance - when the direction is relevant - would be indicated in meters or km. (plus a direction), a velocity in meters per second plus a direction, an acceleration in meters per second square, plus a direction. Electric field might be indicated in Volts / meter, if I remember correctly again, including an indicating the direction.

What is the significance of the magnitude of a vector in terms of its units?

The magnitude of a vector represents its size or length, regardless of its direction. It is important because it provides information about the strength or intensity of the quantity being measured in the specific units used for that vector.


Units that can be used to describe vector quantities?

Vector quantities can be described using units such as meters (m), newtons (N), and kilograms (kg) for displacement, force, and mass, respectively. Additionally, vector quantities like velocity can be measured in meters per second (m/s) and acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s^2).
