SCALARS VECTORS Definition SCALARS, Those Physical quantities, which are cified by their magnitude and unit only are lled scalar quantities or simply called Those: Physical quantities which are specified by their magnitude and as well as direction with appropriate units are calleg vector quantities or simply called vector. . Representation number (positive, negative or zero). These numbers are known as magnitude of scalars. The magnitude is also known as value. lars are represented by an ordinary _ The vector is represented by a letter with an Arrow like A or B etc. Denction They are denoted by letters in ordinary type. They direction representation. do not require any mention of for their specification and They are denoted by bold faced letters with an arrow, i.e. A and B their magnitudes are denoted by eal or A and Bi or B respectively. Required Method : ‘Scalars — are added, | subtracted, ules. ” Vector operations such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication do not follow basic arithmetic rules; instead, they require vector algebra for accurate computation. Example —.Femperature, length, speed, time insity, mass etc. are the examp' les of scalars. _ Displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, moment of force, etc. Pieg Re Pee, CamScanner
