A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction.
I hope this helps you.
Explanation:
A micrometer is a measuring device or an instrument which is used to measure very minute measurements very accurately and precisely. It is mathematical tool used to provide accurate measurement for any mechanical components.
Now, if the micrometer that I have found is badly bent, it would provide faulty or wrong measurements both in terms of precision and accuracy when compared to a high quality meter stick.
If you're holding the apple at your waist, lift it to your mouth.
Potential energy relative to any level is proportional to its height
above that level. Increase that height, and you've increased the
potential energy.
Since energy is conserved ... it never magically appears or
disappears ... you need to tell where that extra energy for the
apple came from.
It's exactly the work you did ... the force of your muscles acting
through the distance you raised the apple ... that became the
additional potential energy that the apple gained.
