Geometrically Add Subtract Vectors

What is the main difference between scalar and vector quantities?

• Scalars have no direction, vectors do not have magnitude
• Scalars have magnitude, vectors have magnitude and direction
• Scalars have magnitude and direction, vectors only have magnitude
• Scalars have direction, vectors have no direction
