Unit 1 Segment D: Vectors and Scalars A marching band helps us explore the difference between vector and scalar quantities. We also dive into how to use the tip-to-tail method to resolve one and ...

Notice how the quantities above have both a size and a direction associated with them. The direction of a vector can be given in a written description, or drawn as an arrow. The length of an arrow ...

Scalar quantities have only magnitude (size). For example, 11 m and 15 m s-1 are both scalar quantities.
