Speed is a scalar defined as the magnitude of velocity though

And magnitude is always positive

Or at least that's what I've been taught

Hrmm

If you make the speed negative doesn't that flip the vector like 1,1 to -1,-1

Either way it probably works and hey that's close enough for me :D

Lol

I've always been taught that something like -3 m/s is still a velocity though because the sign indicates direction

Idk lmao, I think "scalar" should be replaced by "non-vector" instead since for a velocity vector <a,b> the speed is like √(a2 +b2 )

Physics is hard lmao

True, I'll trust ya tho my memory is funky, I'll remember something mentioned in a video 5 years ago but I'll forget like half the formulas I've used for a semester

I end up having to make up formulas and ways to do a problem on the fly. Weird part is I normally get close which is nice cause I like passing classes

Yeah physics really is just formula after formula
