4

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

62% Answer Correctly

mass

velocity

momentum

acceleration


Solution

Velocity and displacement are vector quantities which means each is fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.  In contrast, scalar quantities are quantities that are fully described by a magnitude only.  A variable indicating a vector quantity will often be shown with an arrow symbol:  \(\vec{v}\)


5

63% Answer Correctly

high-altitude

mid-altitude
