Scalar Quantities
Scalar Quantities have magnitude (size) but no specific direction
1 of 15
Vector Quantities:
Vector Quantities have magnitude(size) and a specific direction.
2 of 15
Scalar Vs Vector Quantities:
Vector Quantities have both magnitude and an associated direction. Scalar Quantities only have magnitude.
3 of 15
Scalar Quantity Examples:
Temperature, Mass, Energy, Distance, Speed, Density.
4 of 15
Vector Quantity Examples:
Force, Weight, Displacement, Velocity, Acceleration, Momentum.
5 of 15
Velocity:
Velocity is speed in a stated direction.
6 of 15
Formula relating average speed/m/s , distance/m and time/s:
average speed = distance / time
7 of 15
Average Speed symbol equation:
s=d/t
8 of 15
Formula relating distance travelled/m , average speed/m/s and time/s:
distance travelled = average speed × time
9 of 15
Speed from Distance-Time Graphs:
The speed of an object is determined using the gradient of a distance-time graph.
10 of 15
Acceleration:
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity(m/s2).
11 of 15
Acceleration symbol equation:
a= (v-u)/t
12 of 15
Formula involving acceleration/m/s2, change in velocity/m/s and time taken/s:
acceleration = change in velocity / time taken
13 of 15
Formula relating final velocity/m/s, initial velocity/m/s, acceleration/m/s2 and distance/m:
(final velocity)2 /(m/s)2 – (initial velocity)2/(m/s)2 = 2 × acceleration/m/s2 × distance/m
14 of 15
Symbol equation involving velocity, acceleration and distance:
(v2-u2)=2 × a × x
