Select the best answer for the question.

17. Which of the following is considered to be a vector?

A. Temperature

B. Velocity

C. Mass

D. Time



Answer :

To determine which of the given quantities is considered a vector, let's analyze the properties of each option:

A. Temperature:
- Temperature is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude and no direction.

B. Velocity:
- Velocity is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.

C. Mass:
- Mass is a scalar quantity as it only has magnitude and no associated direction.

D. Time:
- Time is also a scalar quantity since it only has magnitude and no direction.

Given the properties above, the best answer to the question is:

B. Velocity

Velocity is considered a vector because it includes both magnitude and direction.
