Problem 1CQ
For the following quantities, indicate which is a scalar and which is a vector: (a) the time it takes for you to run the 100-yard dash; (b) your displacement after running the 100-yard dash; (c) your average velocity while running; (d) your average speed while running.
ANSWER:
Part (a)
Step 1 of 4:
The physical quantities are classified as scalar and vector quantities. The scalar quantities have magnitude alone whereas the vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. We are going to tell whether the time is a scalar or vector.
The time is a scalar quantity as it doesn’t have any direction.
Part (b)
