Question

A vector is a physical quantity which has:

Options

  1. A Mass and volume
  2. B Density and tension
  3. C Inertia and stress
  4. D Magnitude and direction
Show Answer

Correct Answer

D Magnitude and direction

Model Answer

Vector

  • A vector is a physical quantity that has Magnitude and direction.
  • Symbols for physical quantities that are vectors are in bold type, underlined or with an arrow above.
  • It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity’s magnitude.
  • For example, displacement, velocity, and acceleration are vector quantities.
  • A quantity that requires both the magnitude in number field along with the direction of the quantity accompanied by the units of measurement or SI units is known as a vector quantity.
  • Vector quantities should also obey the triangular law of vectors.
  • Hence, Option 4 is correct.
  • Scalars: A scalar is a physical quantity that has magnitude but no direction.
