I don't know maybe am wrong but, the only way we can differentiate vector from scalar... maybe is by there formula,scalar does not have derivatives or formula,while, vector has formula and derivatives 👀

While,Weight=mxg
Displacement=vxt
MomentumF=mv-mu
So in my own understanding... vectors are derived unit,(I.e,that have formulas)... Gracia's 🙂

Potential Energy: Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or configuration. It has magnitude but no inherent direction. For example, a book held above the ground has gravitational potential energy, and the amount of energy doesn't depend on which way you're holding it. Therefore, potential energy is a scalar quantity.

Cos potential difference it's a unit itself,it wasn't derived

how's potential energy a scaler????
thought it's mgh
g not vector?

All fields are vector quantities except electric field potentials
