Question 9

Scalars and Vectors

Which of the following consists entirely of vector quantities?

  1. A.Velocity, magnetic flux and reaction
  2. B.Tension, magnetic flux and mass
  3. C.Displacement, impulse and power
  4. D.Work, pressure and moment.
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: A (Velocity, magnetic flux and reaction)

Explanation

Velocity and reaction are vectors, and the magnetic field (flux) is treated here as a vector. Each other option contains a clear scalar: mass, power or work.
