Scalar quantities . have only a magnitude (amount).. Vector quantities . have a magnitude . and. a direction. . We represent them as . arrows. .. Distance. (d): . the . separation between . two . points. . define . scalar and vector quantities and . give . examples.. (. b) draw and use a vector triangle to . determine the resultant of two vectors such as displacement, velocity and force.. (c) Use trigonometry to determine the resultant of two vectors.. A.S. 1.3.1 – 1.3.4. Scalar Quantities. Those values, measured or coefficients, that are complete when reported with only a magnitude. Examples:. . the table is 2.5 m long. . He ran the 100. m race in 12.65 s.. Which of the following is the odd one out?. Mass. Speed. Force. Temperature. Distance. Elephant. Which of the following is the odd one out?. Mass. Speed. Force. Temperature. Distance. Elephant. Scalars. Objectives. :. Distinguish between vector and scalar quantities. Add vectors graphically. Scalar. – a quantity that can be completely described by a number (called its magnitude) and a unit.. Ex: length, temperature, and volume. A . scalar. quantity . can be described by a . single number. , . with some meaningful . unit. 4 oranges. 20 miles. 5 miles/hour. 10 Joules of energy. 9 Volts . Vectors and scalars. A . scalar. quantity . p. etra.ryrstedt@lund.se. Polhemskolan, Lund, Sweden. Nspire and . vectors. This. . year. I . used four different files to teach. my . students. . about. . vectors. I have used these files several times but every time . vs. Vectors. Scalars – a quantity that only needs a magnitude (with a unit) to describe it. . Ex:. . Vectors – a quantity that needs a magnitude (with a unit) and a direction to completely describe it. Any vector can be resolved into horizontal and vertical components. v. v. x. v. y. A Helicopter is traveling . above a highway at . 29m/s at an angle of 25 degrees with respect to flat ground.. . How fast would a sports car have to travel to stay beneath the helicopter?. Matrices. Definition: A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers or symbolic elements. In many applications, the rows of a matrix will represent individuals cases (people, items, plants, animals,...) and columns will represent attributes or characteristics. Scalar quantities . have only a magnitude (amount).. Vector quantities . have a magnitude . and. a direction. . We represent them as . arrows. .. Distance. (d): the separation between . two points. . Scalar. A . SCALAR. is ANY quantity in physics that has . MAGNITUDE. , but NOT a direction associated with it.. Magnitude. – A numerical value with units.. Scalar Example. Magnitude. Speed. 20 m/s. Objectives:. To describe vectors. To solve problems that involve vector addition. Vector. : .  . Any quantity with magnitude (size) and direction. . Magnitude. : . The . distance. from the initial point to the terminal point.. Examples should include: . velocity/speed, mass, force/weight, acceleration, displacement/distance. . Addition of vectors by calculation or scale drawing. . Calculations will be limited to two vectors at right angles. Scale drawings may involve vectors at angles other than .
