Question 1 Report

Which of the following is NOT a vector quantity?
Answer Details
Temperature is NOT a vector quantity. Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction, whereas scalar quantities have only magnitude. Momentum, force, velocity, and displacement are all vector quantities because they have both magnitude and direction. Temperature, on the other hand, only has a magnitude (e.g. 25 degrees Celsius), and does not have a direction. Therefore, temperature is a scalar quantity.
