Introduction to Vectors

A vector is a quantity with both magnitude (size) and direction. This is different from a scalar, which has only a size. For example, speed (30 mph) is a scalar, but velocity (30 mph north) is a vector.

Classify a quantity as scalar or vector, or check a true/false fact about vectors.
