Answer:
1. Scalar- a physical quantity that is completely described by its magnitude
2. Vector- a vector is a variable quantity, such as force, that has size and derection
3. Magnitude- large size or great importance.
4. Vector Components- allow us to break a single vector quad tity into two (or more) scalar quantities with which we have more mathematical experience
5. What distinguishes a vector from a scalar?
Ans: Vectors have magnitude and derection, scalars only have magnitude.
6. What does the magnitude of a vector refer to?
