Vector physical quantities are quantities that have both magnitude and direction. Unlike scalar quantities, which only possess magnitude (such as temperature or mass), vector quantities require both a numerical value (the magnitude) and a direction to fully describe their characteristics. Examples of vector physical quantities include: 1. **Displacement**: The change in position of an object, defined by both how far it has moved and in which direction.
