  1. Ravi threw the cricket ball 34 meters to the left, and the wicket keeper caught the ball. Is "34 meters to the left" a vector or scalar?

    Since there is a magnitute (34 meters) and a direction (to the left), the phrase is a vector.


  2. Is "349 inches" a vector or scalar?

    There is a magnitude (349 inches), but no direction, so this must be a scalar.


  3. Write a word problem or sentence with a vector in it.

    Your answer should have included a magnitude (such as "3 meters") and a direction, like "left" or "right".
