Many quantities used in Physics are vectors. For example, force, displacement, and so on.

Let us start learning about scalars and vectors.

It is expressed just with a single number.

Vectors are physical quantities with a magnitude as well as direction.

For better understanding let us see some examples of scalars and vectors
