Vector vs. Scalar Quantities
Problem Solution
From the following, identify the vector quantities:
Pressure Temperature Energy Time Gravitational Potential Power Total Path Length Charge Coefficient of Friction Impulse
Explanation: Impulse is the only vector quantity in the list because it is the product of force (a vector) and time (a scalar), resulting in a vector quantity. All other quantities listed are scalars as they have only magnitude without direction.
Key Difference: Vectors have both magnitude and direction (shown with arrows in the visualization), while scalars have only magnitude (shown with circles).
