About this document
Scalars vs. Vectors Explained by mkanwars is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Scalars are quantities described by magnitude alone, while vectors are quantities described by both magnitude and direction. Common scalars include time, mass, and volume, while common vectors include displacement, velocity, force, and electric current. Vectors can be multiplied by scalars or added to other vectors. Vectors can also be resolved into rectangular components using trigonometric functions. Examples are provided to demonstrate resolving forces into components and calculating relative velocities
