Scalars
Scalars have magnitude (size) only e.g. distance, speed, volume, energy.
Vectors
Vectors have magnitude (size) and direction e.g. distance, velocity, force, momentum, acceleration.
Newtons First law
A body will stay at rest or in constant motion unless acted upon by an external force
Newtons second law
The rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the resultant force acting upon it, and takes place in the direction of the force (F=ma).
Newtons third law
For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction (the force of A on B is equal and opposite tho the force of B on A)
Equation for Moment of a force
Fd = N × L
Quantity
Number × Unit
Density of a material
Density = mass/volume
