Scalars and vectors quantities can represent the same measure e.g.

Energy = -mu/r + mc, ; -mu/r is scalar energy and mcV is vector energy.

Describe scalar and vector quantities Include a definition and provide at least one example of how they are alike and how they are different?

Scalar quantities are physical quantities that are described by their magnitude only, with no direction, such as temperature or speed. Vector quantities are physical quantities that are described by both magnitude and direction, such as velocity or force. An example of how they are alike is that both scalar and vector quantities can be added or subtracted using mathematical operations. An example of how they are different is that vector quantities have direction associated with them, while scalar quantities do not.


Can you add a scalar to a vector?

Yes, you can add a scalar to a vector by adding the scalar value to each component of the vector.

Multiplying or dividing vectors by scalars results in what?

When multiplying a vector by a scalar, each component of the vector is multiplied by the scalar. This operation changes the magnitude of the vector but not its direction. Similarly, dividing a vector by a scalar involves dividing each component of the vector by the scalar.

Can you multiply a vector and a scalar?

Yes, you can multiply a vector by a scalar. The scalar will multiply each component of the vector by the same value, resulting in a new vector with each component scaled by that value.
