And The wiki Word Is...... Vector |
|
Definition: Vectors are quantities which are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction. |
|
Examples of vector quanities are:
35 miles per hour east, 89 meters per second north west, and 67 kilometers down.
|
|
This is an example of velocity because this girl is skating 15 meters per second towards the middle of the page=}
The racecar is going 185 miles per hour towards the finish line |
|
How does this term apply to any of our class labs? When we did our air rocket car lab we studied scalar and vector quanities. We learned that a vector quanity is more precice than a scalar quanity.
