Scalar quantities have only magnitude and no direction. Example: speed Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Example:velocity For speed, say, 40 kmph is enough information. But, for velocity, we need to specify the direction as well, like, 40 kmph towards east.

The quantities that have only magnitude are scalars. Example, mass, voltage. And that have both magnitude and direction are vectors. Example, weight, charge. A train from Chennai(A) to Mangalore(B) at a speed of 150km/hr is denoted as AB(vector)=150i and the return journey at the speed of 120km/hr is...

A train from Chennai(A) to Mangalore(B) at a speed of 150km/hr is denoted as AB(vector)=150i and the return journey at the speed of 120km/hr is AB(vector)=-120i or BA(vector)=120i. Here i is the direction, the journey from Chennai to Mangalore. read less
