Vectors & Scalar

Scalar and Vector Quantities aren't all that similar. Vector Quantity is a quantity showing direction and magnitude (or amount). Scalar Quantity is a quantity with only magnitude (or size).  Vector quantity consists of velocity, increase or decrease in temperature, acceleration and other items that show magnitude and direction. Scalar quantity consists of distance, volume, speed and other items that show only magnitude or size.
