Why is it important to specify both magnitude and direction with some measurements and not others?

Answer:

Other measurements have modulus, but also have a direction and sense, for example: position, speed, these quantities are called vectors.

Step-by-step explanation:

Some magnitudes have only module for example: time, energy. These quantities are called scalars

Other measurements have modulus, but also have a direction and sense, for example: position, speed, these quantities are called vectors.

For these vector magnitudes, both the magnitude and the direction and the point of application must be given, to have complete information about them
