Scalar quantities are fully described by which of the following?
a magnitude and a direction |
|
a direction only |
|
a magnitude and a polarity |
|
a magnitude only |
Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.

fourth |
|
second |
|
first |
|
third |
Newton's third law of motion states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When an object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction on the first object.
