what is vector and scaler quantity
Asked by rajivjoshigoldtech | 27 Apr, 2016, 08:37: PM
answered-by-expert Expert Answer
A scalar quantity is one which has only magnitude, while a vector quantity is one which has magnitude as well as direction.
That is, a scalar quantity can be understood just by a number, say 5 kg sugar. Here, to buy sugar you only need a quantity known as mass, i.e. 5 kg is the only information that is needed to buy sugar.
On the other hand if one needs to go to school, you would need the distance that you have to walk as well as the direction in which you need to walk.
 
Examples of scalar quantities: Mass, time, distance, speed, etc.
Examples of vector quantities: Weight, displacement, velocity, acceleration, etc.

question 1) A body is projected vertically upwards from top of the tower with the velocity of 30m/s. if it takes 8sec to reach on ground then what is the height of the tower (g=10ms). what is the total distance travelled by the body. question 2) A body is dropped from the height of h covers by 64% distance in its last second.find out thte total tim of the ball and height. question 3) A body projected vertically upward, At the half  of its maximum height its velocity becomes 20m/s, what is the maximum height attained by the body. question 5) A body is projected vertically upward from ground. the time of flight is 8 sec find the velocity of projection.
