A level Vectors and Scalars Quizzes

Revising Vectors and Scalars with Quizzes

(Vectors and Scalars quizzes for students doing the GCE A level, GCSE or necta)

Welcome to gcequiz.com, an online revision platform that will ease your  revision by providing you with hundreds of quizzes to answer. Today we will look at what a scalar is, what a vector is and also examples under the two.

In Physics, there are some physical quantities that are referred to Scalar quantities and other quantities that are referred to as Vector quantities. Now, what is a scalar quantity and what is a vector quantity? A scalar quantity is any physical quantity that has only magnitude with no direction whereas a vector quantity is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction.

I believe that you must be wondering what a physical quantity is. A physical quantity is a property of a material or framework that can be evaluated by estimation. An actual amount can be communicated as the mix of a mathematical worth and a unit. For instance, the actual amount mass can be measured as nkg, where n is the mathematical worth and kg is the unit.

Some examples of scalar quantities include; 

• volume
• temperature
• density
• speed
• energy
• mass  
• time and so many others

Examples of vector quantities include;

• force
• displacement
• velocity
• acceleration
• momentum and so many others

Students, before getting into the examination hall should have a good  mastery of the basic concepts of Scalar and Vector quantities in order  to successfully answer questions under the topic and not just under this topic but in other topics as it is a used frequently in other topics in Physics. For quizzes in other physics topics, go to A Level Physics Quizzes.

It's been noticed that most students face a lot of problems in physics and other science subjects. No need to bother. gcequiz is here to help you overcome your challenges. All you need to do is to sign up and play around with the quizzes made available by gcequiz.

Enjoy!
