No, height is a scalar quantity, not a vector. Scalars have only magnitude, while vectors have both magnitude and direction. Height only gives the measurement of how tall something is, without specifying a direction.

Can you include height as an example of a vector?

technically yes as height has the direction of upwards. and has magnitude.


Is height a scalar or vector quantity?

WEIGHT is a VECTOR quantity .. because the weight has the direction into the surface of the earth to the down effected by the gravity .. but mass is a scalar quantity like 90 kg .. so .. WEIGHT IS VECTOR ..


Is volt a vector quantity?

no volt is not a vector quantity because it has no direction and it can be added or subtracted as scalar quantities. volt in electrostatics is analogous to vertical height in mechanics . vertical height have a value for every place but no direction and height can be added or subtracted as scalar


Is height a scalar quantity?

No, height is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude (numerical value) and direction (up or down). In physics, vectors are quantities that have both magnitude and direction, while scalars have only magnitude.


What type of measurement is this 12 feet up is it vector or scalar?

The measurement of 12 feet up is a scalar measurement. Scalars have magnitude but no direction. In this case, the magnitude is 12 feet, indicating the distance or height, but there is no direction specified.


What is a word for Measure in one direction?

A measure in one direction is called a vector. Some specific vectors are length, width, height and radius.


Can a vector be represented in terms of unit vector?

Yes, a vector can be represented in terms of a unit vector which is in the same direction as the vector. it will be the unit vector in the direction of the vector times the magnitude of the vector.


What is null vector?

NULL VECTOR::::null vector is avector of zero magnitude and arbitrary direction the sum of a vector and its negative vector is a null vector...


What is the angle between vector a and vector b when mode of vector a plus vector b is equal to mode of vector a minus vector b?

90 degrees


If a rocket's thrust equals weight of rocket will the rocket maintain a fixed height?

If and only if all of the thrust is in the opposite direction of the gravity vector ("straight down"). If any of the thrust has horizontal component, it will travel a distance but lose height.


Is vector A parallel vector B given that vector A is equal to the zero vector and vector B is equal to the zero vector?

The zero vector is both parallel and perpendicular to any other vector. V.0 = 0 means zero vector is perpendicular to V and Vx0 = 0 means zero vector is parallel to V.


What is the reverse process of vectors addition?
