Question
what is a vector quantity? a quantity that only has magnitude a quantity that only has direction a quantity that has neither magnitude nor direction a quantity that has both magnitude and direction
A vector quantity is defined in physics as a quantity that has both magnitude (size) and direction. For example, velocity is a vector because it tells how fast an object is moving (magnitude) and in which direction. In contrast, a scalar (like speed) has only magnitude. The first option (only magnitude) describes a scalar. The second option (only direction) is incorrect as no physical quantity is defined this way. The third option (neither) is also wrong. The fourth option aligns with the vector definition.
