Is this one term or two?
1. Centroid: According to the American Heritage Dictionary, "centroid" is synonymous with "center of mass" or CM. When I was in high school, we called that MARKAZ AL-THIQAL مركز الثِقَل
Al-Khatib's New Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms prefers MARKAZ MUTAWASSIT مركز متوسـط
If had my druthers, I would call it MARKAZ AL-KUTLA مركز الكُتلة.
2. Vector: When I was in high school, we called that MUTTAJIHA or KAMMIYYA MUTTAJIHA مُتَّجِهة أو كَـمِّـيّة مُـتَّجِهة
The above mentioned reference still uses the same term. A vector is a quantity that has both a magnitude and a direction. Mechanical forces, for instance, are vectors. A quantity that has a magnitude but no direction is called "scalar"
كمية سُـلَّميّة أو كمية لا متجهة أو غير متجهة
Volume, for instance, is a scalar.
