This document discusses scalars and vectors in biomechanics. Scalars are physical quantities that only have magnitude, such as speed, volume, and mass. Vectors are quantities that have both direction and magnitude, including force, velocity, acceleration, and displacement. The document provides examples of scalars and vectors and notes that they are represented differently, with vectors using symbols to indicate direction.

3. WHAT IS
SCALAR?
A scalar is usually said to be a physical
quantity that only has magnitude and no
other characteristics.

V O L U M E
M A S S
T E M P E R A T U R E

5. WHAT IS
VECTOR?
A quantity having direction as well as
magnitude, especially as determining the
position of one point in space relative to
another.
