Question
Chapter 5, Problem 1PLA
To determine
The displacement is vector or scalar.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1PLA
Option (a)
Explanation of Solution
Distance is scalar quantity and Displacement is a vector quantity. Scalar quantity gives only magnitude while vector quantity gives both the magnitude and the direction.
Conclusion:
Displacement is always vector quantity. Therefore, option (a) is correct.
Displacement is always vector quantity. Therefore, option (b), (c),(d), and (e) are correct.
