Scalars and Vectors

This study guide covers the fundamentals of scalars and vectors in AP Physics C: Mechanics. It explains the difference between scalars (magnitude only) and vectors (magnitude and direction), provides examples of each, and shows how to represent vectors using unit vector notation ($\hat{i}$, $\hat{j}$, $\hat{k}$). It also discusses related concepts like distance vs. displacement and speed vs. velocity. Finally, the guide offers practice questions and exam tips focusing on vector addition, subtraction, and application in kinematics.
