    Study Notes

    Physical Quantities

    • Physical quantities are grouped into scalar and vector quantities.
    • Scalar quantities are defined by magnitude only.
    • Examples of scalar quantities: Distance, speed, mass.

    Distance

    • Distance is the shortest space (𝑑𝑥 or 𝑑) between two points.
    • Units: meters or feet.

    Speed

    • Speed is the rate of change of distance with time.
    • Speed = Distance / Time.

    Mass

    • Mass is the quantity of matter in a body.
    • Mass is measured.
