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 type of measurement is this 45 apples?
This is a measurement of count or quantity, indicating the number of apples present. It is not a measurement of weight, volume, or length.
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
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 type of measurement is 55 miles per hour?
scalar
What type of measurement is this the speed limit on an interstate highway?
scalar
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?
A scalar quantity has magnitude but no direction. It is described only by its numerical value and unit of measurement. Scalars can be added, subtracted, and multiplied by a scalar value.
What type of measurement is this 45 apples?
This is a measurement of count or quantity, indicating the number of apples present. It is not a measurement of weight, volume, or length.
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.
