difference between vector and scalar
| Scalar | Vector |
| A physical quantity which has only magnitude is known as scalar quantity. | A physical quantity which has magnitude as well as direction is known as vector quantity. |
| For ex: mass, length, time, work, etc. | For ex: velocity, displacement, acceleration, etc. |
| Scalars obey algebraic rules for the operations like addition and multiplication. | Vectors obey vector algebra for the operations like addition and multiplication. |
| A scalar can divide another scalar. | Two vectors can never divide each other. |
Consider an example: A car is moving with the speed of 100 m/s towards east.This is velocity vector.
Magnitude of this vector is 100 m/s and the direction of the vector is towards east.
