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.
Do vectors have quantity?
Both scalars and vectors have quantity. The difference is a vector has quantity and direction, whereas scalars only have quantity.
What is the difference between vector addition and algebraic addition?
There is no difference between vector addition and algebraic addition. Algebraic Addition applies to vectors and scalars: [a ,A ] + [b, B] = [a+b, A + B]. Algebraic addition handles the scalars a and b the same as the Vectors A and B
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.
What is the difference between a scalar quantity and a vector?
Scalars are quantities that have magnitude only; they are independent of direction. Vectors have both magnitude and direction. vectors need bold letters to show them.
Is it possible the add a vector and scalar?
no!!!only scalars and scalars and only vectors and vectors can be added.
What do you mean by tensor?
A tensor is a mathematical object that generalizes the concepts of scalars, vectors, and matrices. It can represent relationships between geometric vectors, scalars, and other tensors. In physics and engineering, tensors are used to describe various physical properties and phenomena in a mathematical framework.
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.
What is the difference between vectors and non-vectors?
Coplanar :The vectors are in the same plane.Non coplanar :The vectors are not in the same plane.
Why is it important to know the difference between vectors and scalar?
Scalar quantity is the usual one. It is already there unavoidable. But vector is the new one. Why do we need it? Suppose say two persons by name John and Johann push a box with forces 4N and 3N, what could be the effective force on the box? One may say 7 N by adding them. One may say just 1N because of getting the difference. Another may say 5N. How? Why do they give different answers? It is because the directions in which the forces acting are considered in different ways. If both in the same, addition is ok. If in opposite then difference is right one. If they are at right angles then pythagros technique. So direction is the most essential data to get the right answer. Hence magnitude with direction is known to be vector quantity.
What are the two kinds of measure?
vectors and scalars.....
