A vector is:
* a variable quantity that can be resolved into components
* a straight line segment whose length is magnitude and whose orientation in space is direction
*any agent (person or animal or microorganism) that carries and transmits a disease; "mosquitos are vectors of malaria and yellow fever"; "fleas are vectors of the plague"; "aphids are transmitters of plant diseases"; "when medical scientists talk about vectors they are usually talking about insects"

A vector is some mesurement that has magnitude and direction. For example, Force is vector beacuse force has to be applied in some direction. On the other hand, mass is scalar beacuse mass has no direction, its jsut a proeprty. Same for energy.
