Addition of Vectors: Name: Sadia Hassan

This document discusses different types of physical quantities. It defines physical quantities as properties that can be measured using numbers, such as mass, length, and temperature. Non-physical quantities cannot be directly measured and represent concepts like pain or happiness. Scalars are quantities described by magnitude alone, like speed, volume, and time. Vectors have both magnitude and direction, describing both how strong and in which direction a medium is moving.

PHYSICAL QUANTITIES

• In physics, a physical quantity is any physical property that can


be measured using numbers. Examples of physical quantities
are mass, amount of
substance, length, time, temperature, electric current, light
intensity, force, velocity, density, and many others.
NON PHYSICAL QUANTITIES

• Unlike physical quantities, non-physical quantities are


those quantities that cannot be measured by any mean
or media. These quantities do not have magnitude of
themselves. Some example of non-physical quantities
are: pain, said and happy.
SCALAR QUANTITIES

• What is a scalar?

A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by a magnitude only. It is


described by just a single number. Some examples of scalar quantities
include speed, volume, mass, temperature, power, energy, and time.
VECTORS QUANTITIES

• Vector is a measurement that refers to both the


magnitude of the medium as well as the direction
of the movement the medium has taken.
