Physics is a problem-solving discipline, so don’t expect to do
well by memorizing solutions or get marks for memorizing
formulas.
➢ You will be evaluated on your ability to solve problems.
We will stress to you the major themes and principles.
➢ If you truly understand the underlying principles, you will

do well.

Scalars & Vectors
Scalar Quantity
A physical quantity that has magnitude (numerical value) but no direction.
e.g. temperature, length, mass, time, speed, energy
Vector Quantity
A physical quantity that has magnitude and a direction.
e.g. displacement, velocity, acceleration, weight, momentum

Scalar and vector quantities are often accompanied by units.
Always remember that units are very important!

information to the Mars Polar
Lander
The NASA team used the Imperial unit for force (lbs) in ground-based computer
software rather than the SI unit for force (N) specified by Lockheed Martin. The
Orbiter came too close to Mars and disintegrated in the upper atmosphere. Oops!
