Vector Quantity is a quantity that's described Using Both Value and Direction .
Example of Vector Quantities :
Velocity ---- > you say that an object is moving at 70 m/sec in the X-axis Direction
Usually ,, Vector quantities are Described Using Absolute Value and Set of Coordinates :
Example ....
V' ( Velocity ) = 30 X^ + 25 Y^
that's the component of the Velocity is 30 m/sec in the Direction of x - axis and 25 m/sec in the direction of Y Axis ..
Also Force can be described as a Vector Quantity & Momentum .
Scalar quantity : is a quantity that's described only using an absolute value ...
Example : Speed , Distance , Electric Current .
A car is moving at 30 m/sec ------> No Directions here ..
Good Luck
