| Question | Answer |
| Scalar | Magnitude without direction e.g. length, area, volume, distance, speed, mass, density, pressure, temperature, energy, work, power, electrical potential, charge & time. |
| Vector | A quantity that has both magnitude and direction e.g. displacement, velocity, acceleration, momentum, forces (weight), fields, a.c voltage & current when calculating fields |
| Displacement | Net distance moved in a particular direction |
| Instantaneous Speed | Speed measured between two points at a very small time apart |
| Average Speed | distance covered / time taken - distance traveled per unit time |
| Velocity | Speed in a given direction |
| Acceleration | Gradient of a velocity time graph = change in velocity per unit time taken |
