Vector

With a vector, what kind of information is carried by the positive and negative signs?

• the direction

• the size

• the math function

• the coordinates

What is the "magnitude" of a vector?

• the units of the vector show magnitude

• the sign of the vector shows magnitude

• the length of the vector shows magnitude

• the direction of the vector shows magnitude

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

• both show movement, so they are the same

• one is a vector and the other is a scalar

• distance shows direction, displacement does not

Which of the following is a vector quantity?

• Speed

• Distance

• Displacement

• Mass

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

• Speed is a vector, while velocity is a scalar

• Speed is scalar, while velocity is a vector

• There is no difference; they are the same

• Speed can only be positive, while velocity can be negative

Velocity and acceleration are...

• Vector

• Scalar

What is a displacement?

• a change in position

• a change in the origin

• a coordinate system

• two different origin points

Which of the following quantities are vectors?

• speed, velocity, acceleration

• velocity, acceleration, force

• force, acceleration, mass

• length, mass, time
