A scalar measurement is one that requires only one number. For example, my mass is 82 kg. BUT some measurements require more than one number to specify. For example, a force on me has both a magnitude and a direction. Such things are called "vectors." Speed is a scalar quantity. I am going 35 km/hr, but velocity is a vector, which requires a magnitude, which is the speed, AND a direction. So my speed is 35 km/hr, but my velocity is 35 km/hr east.
What else can I help you with?
What type of measurement is this 45 apples?
Vector
Why time is a scalar quantity?
Time is considered a scalar quantity because it does not have a direction associated with it. Scalar quantities only have magnitude, like a point on a number line. In contrast, vector quantities have both magnitude and direction.
What is speed a scalar or vector quantity?
scalar
Is length a scalar or vector?
Length is a scalar quantity. By definition, a vector quantity has both magnitude (ie. length) and direction. Length does not have direction, so it is not a vector. Length is a scalar quantity. Length is a scalar quantity. yes
Is potential gradient vector or scalar?
The potential gradient is a vector quantity. It represents the rate of change of the scalar electric potential with respect to position in space.
What is scalar is measurement?
It is a measurement that doesn't have direction, such as distance. A vector has direction
Which type is of measurement is this 20 feet down?
scalar
What type of measurement is this the weight of 5 apples?
Scalar
What type of measurement is 55 miles per hour?
scalar
What type of measurement is this the speed limit on an interstate highway?
scalar
Is mass a vector measurement?
No, it's a scalar measurement because it has magnitude only. A vector measurement has both a magnitude and a direction.
What is scalar vector?
Vector is NOT a scalar. The two (vector and scalar) are different things. A vector is a quantity (measurement) in which a direction is important. A scalar is a quantity in which a direction is NOT important.
Is the following measurement a vector quantity or a scalar quantity?
A vector quantity.
What is scalar in physics?
Any measurement for which only a magnitude is required, but not a direction. The opposite of a vector: a measurement for which a direction IS relevant.
What properties of a scalar quantity?
They only have a magnitude , no direction.
What type of measurement is this 45 apples?
Vector
What does a scalar measure?
A scalar is a quantity that has only magnitude and no direction. In terms of measurement, a scalar measure is a numerical value representing the size or magnitude of a physical quantity without specifying the direction. Examples of scalar measures include temperature, distance, and speed.
