Interactive Vectors Simulation
Understand Scalar vs Vector Quantities
Our Vectors Simulation helps you visualize and understand the crucial differences between scalar and vector quantities by letting you experiment with different object paths and observe the results.
Scalars and Vectors Simulation
Scalar: Only magnitude (e.g., distance, time, speed). Represented by numerical values only.
Vector: Has both magnitude and direction (e.g., displacement, velocity, force). Represented by arrows where length is magnitude and direction is orientation.
Displacement Vector: Direct straight line from initial to final position, independent of path taken. The displacement vector is the same regardless of the path traveled.
