Scalar Quantities
Resultant. Graphical. Component.
Physical quantities are classified
into two:
Scalar is a physical quantity
that has only magnitude.
Vector is a physical quantity
that has both magnitude
and direction.
MAGNITUDE - the meaning of
magnitude is 'size' or 'quantity’
DIRECTION - It simply means that the
vector is directed from one place to
another.
Displacement (∆d)
A change in position,
∆ 𝑑 =𝑑 2 −𝑑 1
Obtain the displacement of a jogger
who started at +4m and ended at
-3m.
DISTANCE:
Distance (d)
It is a scalar quantity in which direction is not specified.
=-7 m [S]; d= 7 m
DISTANCE DISPLACEMENT
Scalar Vectors
Measure how far It depends on the
we moved. sign
Always positive It can be ( - , +)
Direction ( -
means left, +
means right)
