CALCULATION
SCALAR QUANTITIES
A physical quantity is something that can be
measured.
They only have a magnitude or size.
Examples:
Mass (E.G 5 kilograms [KG])
Energy (E.G 2,000 Joules [J])
Distance (E.G 19 metres [m])
Speed (E.G 8 m/s)
CALCULATIONS IN
The resultant force is a single force that has the same eff
You can easily calculate the resulting force of two forces that
2 FORCES GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION
Two forces that act in the same direction produce a
resultant force that is greater than either individual
force. Simply add the magnitudes of the two forces
together.
