Scalars

The video tutorial explains the concept of scalars, which are quantities defined by magnitude alone, such as weight, time, and speed. It contrasts scalars with vectors, which include both magnitude and direction, using examples like a train's speed and a jet's flight path. Scalars are essential in physics for measuring various properties. The video encourages viewers to consider how scalars are used in everyday life.
