Inengineering,physics,mathematics,andotherareaswe
encountertwokindsofquantities.
Scalar quantitydeterminedbyitsmagnitudeonly.It
takesonanumericalvalue,i.e.,anumber.Examples:
time,temperature,length,distance,speed,density,
energy,andvoltage.
Vector quantitythathasbothmagnitudeanddirection.
Itcanberepresentedbyanarroworadirectedline
