    The document discusses the difference between vectors and scalars. Vectors have both magnitude and direction, and examples include velocity, displacement, acceleration, force, and momentum. Scalars have only magnitude and examples include speed, time, distance, temperature, pressure, energy, work done, and current. The document also provides representations for vectors and scalars, with vectors having directional representations and scalars having no special representation.

    - A plane moves towards east with a velocity of 60 m/s in still air. A wind blows the
    plane 30o away from the north at a velocity of 20 m/s. Calculate the resultant
    velocity of the plane by drawing a vector diagram. Mention the scale chosen by you.
