    A free vector is a vector quantity having an undefined support or region of application; it can be freely translated with no consequences; a displacement vector is a prototypical example of free vector. Aside from the notion of units and support, physical vector quantities may also differ from Euclidean vectors in terms of metric.

    Angular frequency (or angular speed) is the magnitude of the vector quantity that is angular velocity. The term angular frequency vector is sometimes used as a synonym for the vector quantity angular velocity. [13] One revolution is equal to 2π radians, hence [13] [14]

  5. List of physical quantities - Wikipedia

    The final column lists some special properties that some of the quantities have, such as their scaling behavior (i.e. whether the quantity is intensive or extensive), their transformation properties (i.e. whether the quantity is a scalar, vector, matrix or tensor), and whether the quantity is conserved.

    A unit vector is often denoted by a lowercase letter with a circumflex, or "hat", as in ^ (pronounced "v-hat"). The term normalized vector is sometimes used as a synonym for unit vector. The normalized vector û of a non-zero vector u is the unit vector in the direction of u, i.e.,

  8. Physical quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_quantity

    A physical quantity can be expressed as a value, which is the algebraic multiplication of a numerical value and a unit of measurement. For example, the physical quantity mass, symbol m, can be quantified as m=n kg, where n is the numerical value and kg is the unit symbol (for kilogram). Quantities that are vectors have, besides numerical value ...
