What is represented by vectors?
In physics, this will usually refer to a measurement that has both a magnitude and a direction.
A quantity that requires both magnitude and direction?
I had this question in my physics class as well and the answer is vector :)
What is useful of vectors in physics?
vector is important because it shows direction as well as magnitude
What does power depend on physics?
As power = work done/time, power depends upon magnitude of w.d. and time required.
What would be the magnitude and direction of acceleration which would make the balance reading zero?
In physics, if the balance reading is zero then the magnitude and direction of acceleration would also be zero. There can be no movement or force if everything is balanced.
What is a characteristic of all measurements in physics?
physical quantities have numerical magnitude and unit
What is unit vector in physics?
a vector having unit magnitude and have a certain direction.

Is it true that all physical quantity which has a direction and a magnitude is a vector?
I think so, yes; that's basically what the concept of a "vector" in physics is all about. (There are also more abstract vectors in math and physics, but something that has a magnitude and a direction would be enough to quality as a vector.)
What is scalar in physics?
Any measurement for which only a magnitude is required, but not a direction. The opposite of a vector: a measurement for which a direction IS relevant.
What does power depend on physics?
As power = work done/time, power depends upon magnitude of w.d. and time required.
Can a vector have a component greater than its magnitude in higher level physics?
yeah, it can. for example consider two antiparallel vectors of magnitude 5,3 whose resultant is 2, which is smaller than both components.....
Can anybody define interaction pair?
"A force pair composed of two forces that are opposite in direction and equal in magnitude." - Glencoe Physics
What would be the magnitude and direction of acceleration which would make the balance reading zero?
In physics, if the balance reading is zero then the magnitude and direction of acceleration would also be zero. There can be no movement or force if everything is balanced.
Displacement and velocity are examples of what?
In math and physics, displacement and velocity are examples of vectors. The definition of a vector is that it is quantity that has both direction and magnitude. A vector is represented by an arrow that shows the direction of the quantity and a length which is the magnitude.
