                                      VECTORIAL AND ESCALAR MAGNITUDES.



* Activity 1.11  :  Vectorial and scalar magnitudes.                  ( 9/8/17   Friday )


1.11.a   Studying scalar and vectorial magnitudes  :     ( 10 points ).

        Magnitude is every property that can be messured, like speed, weight, acceleration, mass, density, electrical conductivity, velocity, force, capacity, volum, etc.

                             - Some magnitude only need a number or quantity to be defined like the capacity and volum a bottle has, like 30 oz, or 2 liters, etc.

                             - Another magnitudes, like forces, velocity, etc, need both a number and a direction or vector, because they need to be determined by a direction. We must indicate in which direction, using an arrow, it goes. For instance the velocity and acceleracion a car is having need a vector, but the speed does not because speed is only a number.

     1.11.b.3 -  Difference between speed ( scalar magnitude ) and velocity , force ( vectorial magnitudes ).


                         Copy the following outline in your workbook in order to check the difference between the scalar variable of speed and the vectorial one of velocity :

                   1.11.b.3.1  Reviewing activity 1 about drawing vectors and forces.  ( 5 points ).
                                 
                                    Reviewing activity 2 about drawing vectors and forces.  ( 5 points ).


          Speed has no direction while velocity does. For example, if I say that I’m running at 10 mph, I have given you my speed. If I say that I’m running 10 mph north, then I have given you my velocity.

           The short answer is that velocity is the speed with a direction, while speed does not have a direction. Speed is a scalar quantity -- it is the magnitude of the velocity. Speed is measured in units of distance divided by time, e.g. miles per hour, feet per second, meters per second, etc.

 1.11.c    Forces, vectorial magnitude. Parts of a force   ( 10 points ).              


          1.11.c.1  Therefore we can say that velocity is a vectorial magnitude and speed is a scalar magnitude. The same about forces, when a force is indicated a vector (arrow) is needed as well as the number or value, so a force is a vectorial magnitude.
