Students learn to distinguish between scalar and vector quantities. Introduction to Vectors: Students learn to distinguish between scalar and vector quantities and how to state the magnitude and ...
Notice how the quantities above have both a size and a direction associated with them. The direction of a vector can be given in a written description, or drawn as an arrow. The length of an arrow ...
Scalar quantities have only magnitude (size). For example, 11 m and 15 m s-1 are both scalar quantities.
