In physics, we encounter two fundamental types of quantities: scalars and vectors.
Scalars: These quantities have only magnitude (size). Examples include:
Temperature: 25 degrees Celsius
Mass: 10 kilograms
Time: 5 seconds
Speed: 30 miles per hour
Vectors: These quantities have both magnitude and direction. Examples include:
Velocity: 30 miles per hour north
Force: 10 Newtons upward
Displacement: 5 meters east
Acceleration: 9.8 meters per second squared downward
