I'm 16 and I'm from Malaysia. Here, you only study Physics when you're my age. So, this is my first year studying it and I'm very interested in Physics as I wanted to be an astronomer and becoming one requires you to obtain an excellent grade in Physics.
So, we learned about base quantities and derived quantities, Scalar and Vector quantities today. As most of you know, the formula for 'Work' is 'force x acceleration'. Why is 'Work' is a Scalar quantity when both 'Force' and 'Acceleration' is a Vector quantity ? (Why when both these Vector quantities when multiplied becomes a Scalar quantity ?)
This may seems stupid for me to ask such basic question here on an expert physics website buy I'd appreciate your answers and help very much. Thank you! :)
