Scalar Quantity
- Scalars are quantities which are fully described by a magnitude alone.
- Magnitude is the numerical value of a quantity.
- Examples of scalar quantities are distance, speed, mass, volume, temperature, density and energy.
Vector Quantity
- Vectors are quantities which are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.
- Examples of vector quantities are displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, and magnetic field.
Example 1
Categorize each quantity below as being either a vector or a scalar.
Speed, velocity, acceleration, distance, displacement, energy, electrical charge, density, volume, length, momentum, time, temperature, force, mass, power, work, impulse.

A modern composition of unpolluted traces and modern edges, the Trinity roulette table in black with purple is a chic expression of recent design. When seen from every finish, a Z-shaped sample takes type, giving this high-end table a daring, geometric appeal that fits seamlessly into any 우리카지노 fashionable room design. As with all of our designs, the Trinity table may be custom-made in your alternative of bespoke sizes, colors, and finishes. There’s nothing fairly like watching the roulette ball – generally known as|often known as} a “pill” – spin round and across the roulette wheel.
