Question

Identify each of the quantities below as either vector or scalar

Answer 1

Answer:

2nd answer 3.2m/s is a scalar l, all others are vectors.

Explanation:

In order to be considered as a vector a certain quantity must have both a magnitude and a direction.

The most common example is velocity. It has both magnitude and direction, like the 1st and the last answers.

The 3rd answer is an acceleration. It is also given with its direction. So we have to consider it also as a vector.

But 2nd answer has no direction mentioned, so it is considered as a scalar.
