Yes, a physical quantity can have magnitude and direction but still be a scalar if it doesn't obey the vector addition. An example is Electric Current which has magnitude and a fixed direction, but it does not follow vector laws of addition.
Materials show varying behaviors based on their Poisson's ratio. High Poisson's ratio materials (near 0.5) contract significantly sideways when stretched and expand when compressed, seen in substances like rubber. Low Poisson's ratio materials (near 0) undergo minimal width change during axial deformation, typical of metals and common engineering materials.
I think the best technique for memorizing is by assigning meaningfulness to things that are to be memorized.
Or in other words, relating things with a memorable story, simply, creating a story.
Do you remember yourself teaching us to memorize things easily. We had related words to a story and almost everyone in the class remembered at least 25 words among the total of 30. I still remember "Bhachyeko Haat". Haha!
