Option 3 : Only I
CONCEPT:
- All measurable quantities are divided into two broad categories:
|
Scalar quantities |
Vector quantities |
|
The physical quantities which have only magnitude and no direction are called scalar quantities or scalars. |
The physical quantities which have both magnitude and direction and obey the laws of vector addition are called vector quantities or vectors. |
|
A scalar quantity can be specified by a single number, along with the proper unit. |
A vector quantity is specified by a number with a unit and its direction. |
|
Examples: Mass, volume, density, time, temperature, electric current, distance, Energy, speed, etc. |
Examples Displacement, velocity, force, weight, torque, momentum, acceleration, velocity, etc |
EXPLANATION:
- Distance is a scalar quantity whereas displacement is a vector quantity but both are measured with the same unit.
- Force and Momentum both are vector quantities with both magnitude and direction.
- Work and power both are scalar quantities.
