Physical quantities measured by scientists fall into two categories:
scalars
and
vectors
View source
Scalars
are
physical
quantities that have
magnitude
(size) only, such as
energy
,
temperature
,
mass
,
distance
View source
Vectors
are measurements that have size (
magnitude
) and
direction
, like a displacement of
4
m
North
View source
Speed is a
scalar
quantity where
direction
is not important
View source
Velocity
is a
vector
quantity where
direction
is important
View source
Scalar quantities in Physics include:
mass
,
distance
,
speed
,
rate
of
change
of
speed
,
time
View source
Vector quantities in Physics include:
displacement
,
velocity
,
acceleration
,
force
,
weight
