Vectors: Magnitude, Direction and Operations

Vectors are quantities that carry both magnitude and direction, unlike scalars which have magnitude alone. This topic covers how vectors are represented, added, subtracted and scaled, along with the key operations that m…

• A vector has both magnitude and direction; a scalar has magnitude only.
• Examples of vectors: displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum.
• Examples of scalars: mass, time, speed, temperature, energy.
