inertia investigation

  • Tightening of seat belts in a car when it stops quickly.
  • A ball rolling down a hill will continue to roll unless friction or another force stops it.
  • Men in space find it more difficult to stop moving because of a lack of gravity acting against them.

vector and scalor

A vector is a quantity with both magnitude (strength) and direction. Like a force having a strength in pounds and a direction. Or a wind having magnitude (in mph) and direction (Northeast). A scalar has only magnitude. Like the length of a segment or amount of peanuts in a jar. Scalars are just numbers.
