Vector notation

Introduction to
scalars and
vectors
Scalars

A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by


a magnitude only.

It is described by just a number.

Examples: Speed, volume, mass, temperature,


power, energy, time, etc.
VECTORS

A vector is a quantity that has both


a magnitude and a direction and it
should also follows the Laws of
Vector Addition.

Examples: Force, velocity, acceleration,


displacement, momentum,etc.
