Vector

A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude (size) and direction. It’s like an arrow pointing from one point to another, where the length shows how much, and the direction indicates where. Vectors are used in various fields such as physics for force or velocity, and in mathematics for representing points or movements in space. Unlike scalars, which only have size (like temperature or weight), vectors provide more information by showing both how much and which way. They can be added together, scaled, or broken down into components for analysis.
