Key Points
- Vector Quantity is defined as which quantity has both direction and magnitude.
- It can be represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity’s magnitude.
- Although, it does not have any position. For example, Acceleration, Displacement, and Velocity are Vector Quantities, while Speed of the magnitude of Velocity, Mass, and Time are Scalars Quantity.
- The Measurement of the Increase or Decrease in the Medium of the temperature is a Vector Quantity. But, the Measurement of the Medium’s Temperature is a Scalar Quantity.
- Force and displacement are vector quantities (they have both magnitude and direction) and the dot product of two vector quantites always gives a scalar quantity. So work has only magnitude but not direction.
