Define scalar and vector physical quantities with their examples.
(N/A) Scalar physical quantity: $A$ physical quantity that requires only magnitude to be fully described is called a scalar physical quantity.
Examples: $Mass$, $distance$, $time$, $density$, $temperature$, $power$, etc.
Vector physical quantity: $A$ physical quantity that requires both magnitude and direction to be fully described is called a vector physical quantity.
Examples: $Displacement$, $velocity$, $acceleration$, $force$, etc.
Examples: $Mass$, $distance$, $time$, $density$, $temperature$, $power$, etc.
Vector physical quantity: $A$ physical quantity that requires both magnitude and direction to be fully described is called a vector physical quantity.
