Scalars & Vectors (AQA GCSE Physics Combined Science): Flashcards

Magnitude only, no direction

Mass, temperature, speed, energy, distance, time

Both magnitude and direction

Displacement, weight, force, velocity, acceleration, momentum

Distance in a specific direction

Magnitude of the vector

Direction of the vector

Non-negative

Positive or negative (depending on direction)

Magnitude of how fast something moves

Direction (speed with direction)

Changing (direction constantly changes), so accelerating
