- quantities which are completely specified when their magnitude are given.
for example: speed, distance, work, volume, mass, specific heat, gravitational potential, time, etc.
VECTOR QUANTITIES
= quantities which require both magnitude and direction in order to be completely specified
for example: velocity, displacement, momentum, weight, torque, centrifugal force, electtic field
intensity, etc.
VECTOR REPRESENTATION :
a. Graphically
for example,

Cartesian Unit Vectors i, j, kin 3D-spact
where: i, j. and k are unit vectors in the
direction of increasing value of x, y,

1. Zero or Null Vector — it has zero magnitude and direction is undefined or no specific direction.
2. Equality of Vectors ~ two vectors are equal if and only if their corresponding components are
also equal,
