During this past week of Physics, we have learned a bit more about vectors and scalars. A vector is comprised of both a magnitude, or the "muchness", and a direction. Scalars on other hand, are just like vectors, except they only include a magnitude and not a direction. For example, in my picture, you could think of the two spearguns as two scalar quantities. You could see that the gun on the top is relatively larger than the one underneath, thus having a greater magnitude. However, you could also see these two spearguns as vector quantities as well. Since the magnitude is the length of the gun, all you have to do is add on the direction. For this example's sake, if you consider the top of the picture North, then these vector quantities are pointing West with either a larger (top gun) or a smaller (bottom gun) magnitude.
