VECTORS INTRO

• Scalars are quantities that only have a magnitude.

  • Magnitude is the absolute quantity of an object.

  • Examples: Distance, Speed, Time, Energy

• Vectors are quantities that have magnitude and direction.

  • Distance is the direction that the subject will travel.

  • Examples: Displacement, Acceleration, Weight, Force

• The tail is the starting position.

• The head is the ending position.

• The magnitude represents how long or large the vector is.

  • For example, a vector representing 100 should be twice as long as a vector representing 50. ​
