What is the difference between a scalar and a vector?
As often described, a vector is a quantity that has a magnitude and a direction, whereas a scalar just has a magnitude. The easiest way to thing about it is to physically think if you could point in a direction, for example, you cannot point to how much energy was used or which way time flowed but you can point in the direction of your speed, hence becoming a velocity.
