  • speed and velocity
    • scalar quantities
      • speed
      • distance
      • mass
      • time
      • just the speed not the direction
    • vector quantities
      • velocity
      • displacement
      • force
      • acceleration
      • vector is a the speed and direction e.g. 30 mph due north
      • usually positive and negative e.g. a car moving in one direction may have a velocity of 3 m/s but moving in the opposite direction it would be -3 m/s
    • formula
      • distance travelled= speed*time
    • converting units
      • km to m: 16*1000=16000
      • 22ms to s: 22/1000=0.022s
      • 8 hrs to s= 8*60=480*60=28 800
