Scalars are quantities that only have magnitude (or size), while vectors have both magnitude and direction. Explore some examples of scalars and vectors, including distance, displacement, speed, and velocity.

One example for that is force: you want to represent a force's magnitude (or strength), but it's also important to indicate in what direction the force is applied.
