    This document discusses vectors and scalar quantities. It defines vectors as quantities that have both magnitude and direction, while scalars only have magnitude. It provides examples of vectors, such as force and velocity, explaining how they must specify both size and direction to be meaningful. Scalar examples are given as temperature and length. The document also differentiates between positive and negative vectors, stating that negative vectors simply denote direction rather than magnitude.

    • Differentiate vectors and scalar


    quantities

    and negative vectors.
    VECTORS AND SCALAR
    QUANTITIES
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    FORCE
    Will the table move if
    a force is applied to
    it?
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    FORCE
    (1) It depends on the amount of
    force to be applied
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    (1) It depends on the amount of


    FORCE
    force to be applied
    The magnitude of the force
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    FORCE = 500N

    What if the force is very large, will the table now move?
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    FORCE = 500N
    (2) It depends on the direction
    of the applied force
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Force = 500N
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Force = 500N

    Most probably, applying force downward will


    not move the table, no matter how large the
    force is.
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Force = 500N , to the right

    However, the table moves if a 300N pushing force is applied to it.


    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Force must be specified with both a


    magnitude and direction, otherwise the
    information is incomplete.
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Velocity

    Velocity of a storm
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    velocity of a
    storm
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Velocity of the
    storm must be
    specified with both
    magnitude and
    direction
    Velocity of a storm
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Some quantities are useless if they are


    without direction
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Scalar Quantities
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    What is the normal


    temperature of a
    human body?
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Normal temperature
    of a human body
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Expressing temperature
    does not need to be
    specified with direction
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Temperature
    is a
    Scalar
    quantity
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Length of a book
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Length of a book
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Length is a Scalar
    quantity
    VECTOR vs SCALAR QUANTITIES

    Scalar Quantities - magnitude

    Vector Quantities - magnitude and direction


    Learning Objectives

     Differentiate vectors
    and scalar quantities
    CONVENTIONAL SIGNS OF VECTORS

    In solving physics
    problems we usually
    assign signs to the
    different directions.
    CONVENTIONAL SIGNS OF VECTORS

    Positive (+) = going to the right


    CONVENTIONAL SIGNS OF VECTORS

    Negative (-) = going to the left


    CONVENTIONAL SIGNS OF VECTORS

    Positive(+) = going upward


    CONVENTIONAL SIGNS OF VECTORS

    Negative(-) = going downward


    CONVENTIONAL SIGNS OF VECTORS

    which is greater?

    A force of 20N or a force of -50N?


    CONVENTIONAL SIGNS OF VECTORS

    A force of -50N is greater than the force of 20N.

    The negative sign in any vector quantity


    denotes only the direction , it means the force
    is applied downward or it is applied to the left.
    Learning Objectives

     Differentiate vectors and scalar


    quantities
     Explain the meaning of positive
    and negative vectors.
