    Question

    Identify a physical quantity which is NOT a vector.

    A.

    Displacement

    B.

    Acceleration

    C.

    Distance

    D.

    Force

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c) Distance.
    · A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction. Examples include displacement, acceleration, and force.
    · A scalar quantity has only magnitude and no direction. Distance is a scalar quantity because it represents the total path length covered, irrespective of direction.
    Explanation of Options:
    · Displacement: A vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction, representing the shortest distance between two points.
    · Acceleration: A vector quantity as it has both magnitude (rate of change of velocity) and direction.
    · Distance: A scalar quantity because it only measures the length of the path traveled.
    · Force: A vector quantity because it has magnitude (measured in Newtons) and acts in a specific direction.
