What is a vernier caliper?
it consists of a main scale and a sliding vernier scale
what is a micrometer screw gauge?
it is used to measure anything less than 1 cm and is too small for the vernier calipers to measure
what is terminal velocity?
it is the greatest speed that a falling object can reach
what are scalar quantities?
Quantities that are measured with numbers and units.e.g length,temp,time.
what are vector quantities?
quantities that are measured with numbers and units but also have a specific direction.
