Scalar, Vector and Tensor Quantity
Scalar Quantity:
Those materials which only have magnitude.
Example: Mass, Length, Distance, Speed, Power, Energy, work, etc.
Vector Quantity:
Those materials which have both magnitude and direction. It obeys the law of Parallelogram.
Example: Displacement, Velocity, Acceleration, Force, Weight, Friction, Momentum, Impulse, Torque, etc.
Tensor Quantity:
The magnitude, direction, and plane in which a quantity behaves or is defined in relation to its coordinate system. It does not obeys the law of Parallelogram of vector addition.
Example: Stress, Electric Current, etc.
