Vectors are quantities with both magnitude and direction-unlike scalars, which have only a magnitude and sign.
Force, acceleration, and velocity are examples of vectors. While mass, energy, and time, are examples of scalars.
A vector is usually represented by an arrow. The arrow's length corresponds to its magnitude and the angle in...
