Scalars And Vectors Math
Scalars and vectors esagi scalars are physical quantities which have only a number value or a size magnitude.
Scalars and vectors math. Mathematics is the language of physics. Because a matrix can have just one row or one column. A scalar is a physical quantity that has only a magnitude size. And if that doesn t make sense to you it will hopefully make sense to you in a second when i show you an example.
So and it has a direction. In fact a vector is also a matrix. These two types are known as scalars and vectors. In mechanics we will use two types of quantities to represent concepts like force mass and time numerically.
For example a person buys a tub of margarine which is labelled with a mass of text 500 text g. Vectors and scalars in this video we learn what a vector is and how it is different to what are called scalar quantities. A vector is something that has a magnitude or you could kind of view that as a size and it has a direction. A scalar only has a magnitude or size.
