Hi , this may been asked quite a bit times but I can't really find a solid answer for this.
Do we have to include negative signs during calculations for vectors or scalars?
I have been told by someone that for vector quantity calculations such as Force we do not include the negative sign or positive as we have to indicate the direction in a separate sentence however for Scalar we will have to indicate it as it does not have a direction
However I have also been told by someone else that it is actually the other way round where we include negative signs for Vectors and not for Scalars.
So can someone please clarify this with me?
Thanks a bunch
