distance, displacement, speed and velocity |
1. vector quantities have a magnitude (size) and a direction 2. lots of physical quantities are vector quantities: forces, velocity, displacement, weight, acceleration, momentum 3. some physical quantities only have a size and NO direction: speed, distance, mass, energy, time, etc |
distance, displacement, speed and velocity |

distance is scalar, displacement is a vector |
1. distance is just how far an object has moved. its a scalar quantity so it doesnt invole direction 2. displacement is a vector quantity. it measures the distance and direction in a straight line from an objects starting point to its finishing poit |
distance is a scarlar, displacement is a vector |
|
|
speed and velocity are both how fast your going |
speed and velocity both measure how fast your going but speed is a scarlar and velocity is a vector |
speed is a scalar and velocuty is a vector |
