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.
