Document Summary

Table of contents (1) introduction (2) scalars and vectors. Frequently asked questions with answers (3) distance and displacement. How to differentiate distance and displacement (4) speed and velocity. Motion can be defined as at the point when we discuss movement or rest it is concerning some point known as the beginning. In this way, presently regarding the adjustment of the position we have two amounts which can be utilized to depict that adjustment of position. A scalar quantity is characterized as the physical quantity with just magnitude and no direction. Such physical quantities can be depicted just by their mathematical value without directions. The option of these physical quantities keeps the simple guidelines of algebra, and here, just their magnitudes are added, Mass, speed, distance, time, volume density and temperature are some examples for scalar quantity. A vector amount is defined as the actual amount that has both directions as well as magnitude.
