Vector

Real World Example

Imagine trying to navigate your way through a crowded shopping mall to find a specific store. This situation is like a vector in physics because just knowing the mall's size or the distance you need to cover isn’t enough; you also need to know the direction to head towards your destination. Similarly, in physics, a vector is a quantity that has both magnitude (the size or distance you need to cover) and direction (the path you need to take), just like you need both pieces of information to successfully reach the store in the mall.
