Scalars and Vectors | GCSE Physics Practice
Physical quantities are either scalars (magnitude only) or vectors (magnitude and direction).
Is velocity a scalar or a vector?
What is Scalars and Vectors | Practice?
"Scalars have magnitude only; vectors have both magnitude and direction."
A physical quantity that has ONLY magnitude is called a ____.
Which of these pairs consists only of VECTOR quantities?
Which of these is the correct vector equivalent of 'Distance'?
Quantity Types
Scalars: Mass, Temperature, Speed, Energy, Distance.
Vectors: Weight, Force, Velocity, Acceleration, Momentum, Displacement.
Vectors are represented by arrows (length = magnitude, arrow = direction).
Common Mistake: "Speed" is a scalar, but "Velocity" is the vector equivalent.

The fastest way to improve your grade is to practise exam-style questions, identify your gaps, and focus only on what you don't know.
