SCALAR QUANTITY

 Magnitude only: Scalar quantities are described by their

numerical value or magnitude.
 No direction: They do not have an associated direction
or orientation.
 Addition is straightforward: When adding scalar
quantities, you simply add their magnitudes.
 Examples: Mass, temperature, time, distance, speed,
energy, and density are examples of scalar quantities.
VECTOR QUANTITY

 Has both magnitude and direction.

 Represented by an arrow or a line segment with a specific length and orientation.
 Examples of vector quantities include velocity, force, displacement, acceleration,
and momentum.
 Vector quantities can be added or subtracted using vector addition rules,
considering both magnitude and direction.
 Algebraically, vectors are often represented as ordered pairs or components, such
as (x, y) in two dimensions or (x, y, z) in three dimensions.
 The magnitude of a vector is typically denoted as |V| or "V" with an arrow above
it, while its direction can be represented in various ways, such as angles or unit
vectors.
 Vectors are essential in physics and engineering to describe physical phenomena
involving motion, forces, and other directional quantities.

POST TEST
DIRECTION: ADD THE FOLLOWING VECTOR QUANTITIES
(SAME AND OPPOSITE DIRECTION ONLY)
1.) Add two velocities:
Velocity 1 = 20 m/s East
Velocity 2 = 10 m/s East
2.) Find the resultant displacement when two displacements are added:
Displacement 1 = 15 meters North
Displacement 2 = 25 meters South
3.) Calculate the total weight when two objects with opposite weights are combined:
