    This document discusses vectors and scalars. It begins by differentiating between vectors, which have both magnitude and direction, and scalars, which only have magnitude. Examples are given such as force and velocity being vectors, while time and temperature are scalars. Later sections provide practice identifying vectors and scalars, drawing vectors of different magnitudes and directions, and applying vectors to examples like air resistance on a parachutist and forces on a moving car. The goal is to teach the key differences between vectors and scalars and how to represent vectors visually.

    put the arrow?
    Scalars and Vectors

    A scalar quantity (or scalars) is a physical quantity


    that has a magnitude but no direction.

    A vector quantity (or vectors) is a physical quantity


    that has both magnitude and direction.
