∙ 10y agoA 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.
No. The same quantities in different units.
It depends on the type of product used. A dot or scalar product of two vectors will result in a scalar. A cross or vector product of two vectors will result in a vector.
A ratio between two (usually) different quantities is the rate. Usually used to describe something compared to a quantity of time.
"Cubic feet" is a unit of volume, whereas "feet" is a unit of length. They're completely different units, they're used to describe completely different kinds of quantities, and neither one can be converted to the other one. If you could convert volume units into length units, you'd be able to figure out how many inches of gas you put in your car yesterday.
speed and direction
Units such as meters (m) for displacement, meters per second (m/s) for velocity, newtons (N) for force, and teslas (T) for magnetic field strength can be used to describe vector quantities.
Meters per second squared, Kilometers per hour, Meters, and Miles per hour.
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).
Units such as meters (m) and kilometers (km) can be used to describe vector qualities like displacement or position. These units represent the magnitude or length of the vector in physical space.
Scalar and vector quantities are both used in physics to describe properties of objects. They both have magnitude, which represents the size or amount of the quantity. However, the key difference is that vector quantities also have direction associated with them, while scalar quantities do not.
Yes, infinitesimal angular momentum is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction, representing the rotational motion of an object. In the context of calculus and physics, infinitesimal quantities are used to describe changes in vector quantities over infinitesimally small intervals.

It is neither a scalar or a vector? Scalar and vectors are used to describe quantities, for example scalars include distance and mass, while vectors include weight and velocity. We do not say that a situation is a scalar or a vector.
A vector is composed of both magnitude (length) and direction. It is represented by an arrow that starts at the origin and points to a specific location in space. Vectors are used to describe quantities that have both size and direction, such as velocity and force.
A vector is a quantity that has magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow pointing in a specific direction, with the length of the arrow representing the magnitude of the vector. Vectors are widely used in mathematics and physics to describe quantities such as velocity, force, and displacement.
