Define the difference between a scalar and a vector.

• Vectors can only be represented in two dimensions, while scalars can be in any dimension.

• A scalar has only magnitude, while a vector has both magnitude and direction.

• A scalar is a type of vector that only measures speed.

• A scalar has both magnitude and direction, while a vector has only magnitude.

If vector E = (0, 0), what is its magnitude?

• 1

• -1
