  • scalar and vector quantities
    • scalar quantities: a physical quantity that can be measured. it has magnitude or size
      • - temperature, mass, energy, distance, speed, density
      • these quantities can be added and subtracted just as normal numbers eg 7kg + 4kg = 11kg
    • vector quantities: both direction and magnitude
      • - forces, displacement, velocity, acceleration, momentum
        • forces calculations: forces acting in the same direction = sum of forces
