PHYSICS Vectors and Scalars.

Vectors. 2 Scalars and Vectors A scalar is a single number that represents a magnitude –E.g. distance, mass, speed, temperature, etc. A vector is a set.

Vectors and Scalars AP Physics B. Scalar A SCALAR is ANY quantity in physics that has MAGNITUDE, but NOT a direction associated with it. Magnitude – A.

Kinematics Vector and Scalar Definitions Scalar: a physical quantity that can be defined by magnitude (size) only. Vector: a physical quantity that can.

3-2 Vectors and Scalars  Is a number with units. It can be positive or negative. Example: distance, mass, speed, Temperature… Chapter 3 Vectors  Scalar.

Scalars and Vectors (a)define scalar and vector quantities and give examples. (b) draw and use a vector triangle to determine the resultant of two vectors.

Aim: How can we distinguish between a vector and scalar quantity? Do Now: What is the distance from A to B? Describe how a helicopter would know how to.

Vector A quantity that shows both magnitude and direction.

Vectors and Scalars. Edexcel Statements A scalar quantity is a quantity that has magnitude only and has no direction in space Examples of Scalar Quantities:

Vectors Physics Book Sections Two Types of Quantities SCALAR Number with Units (MAGNITUDE or size) Quantities such as time, mass, temperature.

Vectors and scalars. weight and mass We have seen that weight is a force that results from the attraction of a mass towards another mass (eg the Earth).

1.1 Scalars & Vectors Scalar & Vector Quantities Scalar quantities have magnitude only. ex. Volume, mass, speed, temperature, distance Vector quantities.

Physics and Physical Measurement Topic 1.3 Scalars and Vectors.

Vector, or Scalar?. Some physical quantities have a direction, and some do not.

Vectors & Scalars Chapter Notes. Vectors vs. Scalars A quantity that requires both magnitude (a numerical value) and direction is a vector Displacement,

Math /7.5 – Vectors 1. Suppose a car is heading NE (northeast) at 60 mph. We can use a vector to help draw a picture (see right). 2.

Speed Velocity and Acceleration. What is the difference between speed and velocity? Speed is a measure of distance over time while velocity is a measure.

Vectors Def. A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. v is displacement vector from A to B A is the initial point, B is the terminal.

Insanely Super Important Kinematics Terms. Kinematics The study of the motion of objects- does not deal with the forces that caused the motion.
