Vectors and Scalars

?

scalars

Scalars is a part of a quantity (magnitude and size) but without a direction

An example of this is Speed as it only has a magnitude

speed (m/s) is described as how far an object has moved in a certain time.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  

Mass(Kg) is also a Scalar along with Distance, Time, and Energy.(Temperature is also a Scalar)

Vectors

A Vector is a magnitude (size) with a specific direction.

An example is Velocity as its measured in m/s and has a direction.

Velocity is defined as how quickly an object is moving in a certain amount of time.

if an Object is moving backwards, it will be negative Velocity but if it
