So far I haven’t done anything exciting in my two weeks break apart from trying to catchup with schoolwork, training and chores 😦 . But studying does get fun when you actually start understanding what you read.
Yesterday I was reading some physics and now have a clearer understanding on the difference between speed, velocity and acceleration, and what scalar and vector quantities are.
So first, a scalar quantity is pretty much the size or measurement of something with no particular direction. e.g temperature, time, pressure and speed.
A vector quantity has both size and direction. e.g torque, velocity, displacement and acceleration.
So, now that I’ve stated which falls into which category, this what I understood from what I read:
Speed- how fast something is going
Velocity- the speed of an object in a particular direction
Acceleration- the rate of velocity change
