Vectors vs. Scalars
Vectors and scalars are not the same thing
Vectors vs. Scalars
AP Physics is quite a daunting class, so it’s good to make note of the very important differences between certain concepts. Vectors and scalars are basically present in every single measurement taken in that class, so I think it’d be a good idea to distinguish between the two here.
Vectors
Vectors are magnitude + direction.
It describes a quantity that is in a certain direction. Examples include velocity and acceleration.
Scalars
Scalars are magnitude.
It describes a quantity that cannot be measured with a certain direction in mind. Examples include length and time.
