Scalar quantities

• Remember scalar quantities only have a magnitude (size)
  • Distance:?the total length between two points
  • Speed:?the total distance travelled per unit of time

Vector quantities

• Remember vector quantities have both magnitude and direction
  • Displacement:?the distance of an object from a fixed point in a specified direction
  • Velocity:?the rate of change of displacement of an object
  • Acceleration:?the rate of change of velocity of an object
