PHYSCI 4TH QTR Vector and Scalar Quantities

Two types of physical quantities:

scalar quantities and vector quantities

Scalar quantity

A __________ is a physical quantity that has magnitude (size or quantity) but no direction. Temperature is a example of it.

VECTOR quantity

A Physical quantity with both magnitude and direction

1. Displacement

2. Velocity

3. Acceleration

4. Force

5. Momentum

These are the examples of Vector quantities

1. Mass

2. Temperature

3. Time

4. Distance

5. Speed

These are the examples of Scalar quantities
