Force
The S.I. unit for force is measured in Newton (N).
Force = Mass X Acceleration
where Mass is
measured in Kg and Acceleration is measured in m/sē
Scalar Quantities
Scalar quantity specifies only the magnitude of a measurement.
Examples of Scalar quantities... ...
- length and distance (m)
- mass (Kg)
- speed (m/s)
- temperature (k or deg. Celsius)
- etc...
Vector Quantities
Vector quantity specifies both the magnitude and direction of a
measurement. Examples of Vector quantities... ...
- displacement (m)
- force (N)
- velocity (m/s)
- acceleration (m/sē)
- work done (Nm)
- etc...
