B. Objectives of Activity

After doing this class discussion the student are able to:

1. Distinguish between vector quantity and scalar quantity

2. Describe the examples of vector and scalar in daily life

C. Required Time

Time that allocated for this activity is 1x45 minutes

D. Short Information

According to its quantity and direction, physical quantity generally can be divided into two categories namely, vector quantity and scalar quantity. A quantity whose both magnitude and direction is called vector quantity. For example: displacement, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, etc. On the other hand, a quantity which only has magnitude is called as scalar quantity. For example, time, energy, mass, and temperature. To understand about vector and scalar quantities, read these following references physics textbook.
