25
Q

What is the Diffrence betwen Scalars and Vectors

A

A Scalar is only a magnitude
But Vectors Have Both magnitude and Directions

26
Q

distance definition

A

the path followed between two points - is scalar

27
Q

displacement definition

A

the shortest distance between two points - is vector

28
Q

speed definition, equation, S.I. unit

A

change in distance with respect to time - is scalar
speed = distance/time
S.I. unit - m/s = ms to the power of -1

29
Q

What is the Equation, Symbol, and units for velocity

A

velocity = displacement/time
units = km/h, m/s

30
Q

How do you tell is an objest is deccelerating on a time distance graph

A

A negative gradent

31
Q

What is the formual for acceleration?

Only the units

A

a = Δv/Δt
Acceleration=Change in velocity/Change in Time

32
Q

mass definition

A

mass is a property of all matter that creates gravitational fields

33
Q

weight definition

A

the force pulling a mass towards another mass

34
Q

weight equation

A

weight = mass x gravitational constant

35

A

9.8 (N/kg or m/s squared)

36
Q

weight unit

A

37
Q

volume definition (2)

A

how much space an object takes up
