 Scalar Quantities

A physical quantity that can be specified

completely in this manner is called a scalar
quantity.

Scalar is a synonym of “number.”

Time, mass, distance, length, volume,

temperature, and energy are examples of scalar
quantities.

Mr. Delos Reyes jogs 2 kilometers going to the

park. From the park, he jogs 2 more kilometers to
pick up his clean clothes from the laundry mat and
jogs for home from the laundry mat which is 3
kilometers away. How many kilometers does he
jogs everyday?

Cartesian Plane
A Cartesian plane is a
graph with two axes, one
is called the x-axis and
the other one is the
y-axis. These two axes
are perpendicular to
each other. The origin
(O) is in the exact center
of the graph intersecting
point of the two axes.

The Great Mathematician Rene
Descartes Latin name was
Renatius Cartesius,who originally
came up with the concept
Cartesian plane named it after
him. Points on the cartesian plane
are called ordered pairs written as
(x , y).

The values that come first in

ordered pairs are plotted along
the horizontal line(x-axis) while
the second number of ordered
pairs is plotted along the vertical
line(y-axis).
