Classify the following as scalar and vector quantities.
(i) time period (ii) distance (iii) force
(iv) velocity (v) work done
(i) time period (ii) distance (iii) force
(iv) velocity (v) work done
(i) time period – Scalar
(ii) distance – Scalar
(iii) force – Vector
(iv) velocity – Vector
(v) work done – Scalar
(i) Time period is a scalar quantity as it involves only magnitude.
(ii) Distance is a scalar quantity as it involves only magnitude.
(iii) Force is a vector quantity as it involves both magnitude and direction.
(iv) Velocity is a vector quantity as it involves both magnitude as well as direction.
(v) Work done is a scalar quantity as it involves only magnitude.
