Title: Introduction to Vectors and Scalars
Description: Distance, displacement, speed and velocity.  Difference between vectors and scalars
Url: http://www.khanacademy.org/video/introduction-to-vectors-and-scalars?playlist=Physics
InternalName: introduction-to-vectors-and-scalars
YoutubeId: ihNZlp7iUHE
Keywords: physics, motion, kinematics

My Notes
--------
domain objects
  Ground, Brick, I (the agent of movement)
scalar: length (in meters), distance
  vector: displacement
scalar: speed (in m/s)
  vector: velocity
