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.

Here i is the direction, the journey from Chennai to Mangalore. read less
