   Is weight a scalar force?

   • I said that weight is a force, with mass times the magnitude of gravitational acceleration as the scalar quantity and a downward direction. His response, "Weight has no direction, i.e., it is a scalar!!!" My thought process is that since weight is a force, and since force is a vector, weight has to be a vector.

   Is weight a scalar or a vector?

   • Mass and weight can be confusing, when it comes to distinguishing between scalar and vector quantities. The pound is a unit of weight, so this value is a vector. The implied direction is down, toward the Earth’s center of gravity. If the “weight” of the cat was given in kilograms, it would be a scalar value (for mass, not weight).

   What are vector and scalar quantities?

   • In this article, let us discuss what are vector and scalar quantities with examples. The physical quantities which have only magnitude are known as scalar quantities. It is fully described by a magnitude or a numerical value. Scalar quantity does not have directions. In other terms, a scalar is a measure of quantity.

   Why do some people use the word 'weight' as a scalar?

   • That may be why some people use the word "weight" as though it were solely a magnitude, like a scalar, because the direction of the weight vector is tacitly assumed, and is left unstated, and insignificant other components of the weight vector are ignored.

   What are examples of scalar quantities?

   • Examples of scalar quantities include pure numbers, mass, speed, temperature, energy, volume, and time. Examples of vector quantities include velocity, acceleration, momentum, displacement, and forces, such as weight and friction. May be written in bold text or with an arrow over it to distinguish from scalar.

   What is the difference between a scalar and a vector?

   • A scalar has only magnitude, while a vector has both magnitude and direction. In mathematics and physics, a scalar is a quantity that only has magnitude (size), while a vector has both magnitude and direction. Examples of scalar quantities include pure numbers, mass, speed, temperature, energy, volume, and time.
