Study Notes
Measurement and Motion
- A stopwatch is accurate for one specific measurement, which is time, and can measure time reading to 0.1s or better.
Speed and Velocity
- Speed is defined as the distance traveled per unit time.
- The equation for speed is distance ÷ time.
- Velocity, on the other hand, is defined as the speed in a given direction.
- Velocity is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
Scalars and Vectors
- Speed is a scalar quantity, which means it has magnitude only.
