give a specific example of a scalar or vector quantity. explain why this type of quantity is used to describe this event.

answer asap like in 5 minutes or less if possible.

Vectors have a magnitude and a direction. It is also something that has a number value in a specific direction. Vectors are used in physics and math topics. 

Scalar have only magnitude. They have a value, but only measure magnitude. Things like temperature, mass, energy would be scalar.
