    Question

    An example for a vector quantity is-

    A.

    Length

    B.

    Momentum

    C.

    Speed

    D.

    Distance

    Correct option is B

    The correct Ans is (b) Momentum

    Explanation:
    A vector quantity is defined as a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Among the given options:

    • Momentum is a vector quantity because it depends on both the magnitude of the mass and velocity (which has direction).
      Formula: Momentum (p) = mass (m) × velocity (v)
      Since velocity is a vector quantity, momentum also has direction.

    Other Options Analysis:

    • Length (Option a): It is a scalar quantity as it only has magnitude and no direction.
    • Speed (Option c): It is a scalar quantity as it measures the rate of distance traveled but lacks direction.
    • Distance (Option d): It is also a scalar quantity because it only measures how far an object has traveled, irrespective of direction.

    Key Points:

    • Scalar quantities have only magnitude (e.g., length, speed, distance).
    • Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction (e.g., velocity, force, momentum).
