Answer:
Other measurements have modulus, but also have a direction and sense, for example: position, speed, these quantities are called vectors.
Explanation:
Some magnitudes have only module for example: time, energy. These quantities are called scalars
Other measurements have modulus, but also have a direction and sense, for example: position, speed, these quantities are called vectors.
For these vector magnitudes, both the magnitude and the direction and the point of application must be given, to have complete information about them
