SP1 Vectors and scalars

All vector quantities have

• energy

• magnitude (size)

• speed

• direction

Scalar quantities have

• magnitude (size) and direction

• magnitude only

• direction only

• speed

Forces with longer arrows represent

• smaller forces

• larger forces

• no force

• time

Scalar quantities include

• speed

• velocity

• distance

• displacement

Vector quantities include

• speed

• velocity

• displacement

Scalar quantities include

• mass

• acceleration

• time

• energy

Vector quantities include

• velocity

• acceleration

• displacement

• speed

Velocity is

• distance covered in a straight line, and has direction.

• speed in a given direction

• a measure of how fast velocity is changing

• a combination of mass and velocity

Displacement is

• distance covered in a straight line, and has direction.

• speed in a given direction

• a measure of how fast velocity is changing

• a combination of mass and velocity

Acceleration is

• distance covered in a straight line, and has direction.

• speed in a given direction

• a measure of how fast velocity is changing

• a combination of mass and velocity
