Distance is a ______ quantity.
- A Scalar
- B Vector
- C Negative
- D Positive
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Distance is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude and no direction. Scalar quantities are described by a single value, such as distance, time, or temperature, and do not have any associated direction. In contrast, vector quantities have both magnitude and direction, such as velocity or displacement. Since distance only represents the magnitude of the displacement, it is considered a scalar quantity.
