tension is a vector!(At first I thought it was a scalar too but this afternoon it was in our physics quiz,I answered scalar but I got it wrong because tension is a vector).
this is the explanation:
tension is the force producing such deformation.
anything with force is a vector.Force always has direction.
What else can I help you with?
Is surface tension scalar or vector?
Surface tension is a scalar quantity, as it only has magnitude and no direction. It represents the force per unit length acting parallel to the surface of a liquid.
Is charge scalar or vector?
vector
What is speed a scalar or vector quantity?
scalar
Scalar and vector?
A scalar is a magnitude that doesn't specify a direction. A vector is a magnitude where the direction is important and is specified.
What is the product of vector and scalar?
The product of a vector and a scalar is a new vector whose magnitude is the product of the magnitude of the original vector and the scalar, and whose direction remains the same as the original vector if the scalar is positive or in the opposite direction if the scalar is negative.
Is surface tension scalar or vector?
Surface tension is a scalar quantity, as it only has magnitude and no direction. It represents the force per unit length acting parallel to the surface of a liquid.
What is a scalar times a vector?
A scalar times a vector is a vector.
Is inertia is a scalar or vector?
vector
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.
Is time a scalar or a vector?
Scalar
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.
Is earthquake a scalar or vector?
An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.
Is power a vector or scalar?
vector
Is charge scalar or vector?
vector
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.
Is conductivity a vector or scalar quantity?
Scalar
Is no. of books a scalar or vector quantity?
It is scalar
