Here are some examples of scalars:
* Temperature: The temperature of a room is 20 degrees Celsius. This tells us the "how much" but not the direction.
* Speed: A car is traveling at 60 kilometers per hour. This tells us the "how fast" but not the direction the car is moving.
* Mass: An object has a mass of 10 kilograms. This tells us the "how much" matter it contains, but not its direction.
* Time: A movie is 2 hours long. This tells us the "how long" but not a direction.
* Distance: The distance between two cities is 100 miles. This tells us the "how far" but not the direction.
In contrast, quantities that have both magnitude and direction are called vectors. Examples of vectors include:
* Velocity: A car traveling at 60 kilometers per hour eastward.
* Displacement: A bird flies 10 meters south.
* Force: A push of 10 newtons to the right.
