The video tutorial explains the difference between scalars and vectors, emphasizing that scalars have only magnitude while vectors have both magnitude and direction. It provides examples of scalar quantities like distance, speed, temperature, and mass, and vector quantities like displacement, velocity, acceleration, and force. The tutorial also demonstrates how vectors can be represented using arrows, with the direction and length of the arrow indicating the vector's direction and magnitude, respectively.

What is the primary difference between a scalar and a vector?

• Vectors have only magnitude.

• Both scalars and vectors have neither magnitude nor direction.

• Scalars have both magnitude and direction.

• Vectors have both magnitude and direction.
