Classify the following as scalar and vector quantities.

(i) time period (ii) distance (iii) force


(iv) velocity (v) work done

Scalars are defined as quantities that have magnitude only.


Vectors are defined as a quantity that has magnitude as well as direction.


(i) time period: It is a scalar quantity as it has magnitude only and no direction.


(ii) distance: It is a scalar quantity as it has magnitude only and no direction.


(iii) force: It is a vector quantity as it has magnitude as well as direction.


(iv) velocity: It is a vector quantity as it has magnitude as well as direction.


(v) work done: It is a scalar quantity as it has magnitude as well as direction.
