Solution
Mathematical study of quantities with both magnitude and direction is called vector analysis. The full definition of some physical and geometrical quantities, referred to as scalars, depends on the units of measurement used to express their magnitude. Thus, the units of mass, temperature, and time are grams, degrees, and seconds, respectively. Scalars can be represented graphically by points on some numerical scale such as a clock or thermometer. There also are quantities, called vectors, that require the specification of direction as well as magnitude. Velocity, force, and displacement are examples of vectors. A vector quantity can be represented graphically by a directed line segment, symbolized by an arrow pointing in the direction of the vector quantity, with the length of the segment representing the magnitude of the vector.
