Question

picture shows two guys holding signs the sign on the left says 5 meters long and the sign on the right says 5 meters east

In the picture above, which of the following is true?

a
both are examples of scalar
b
A. represents scalar and B. represents vector
c
A. represents vector and B. represents scalar
d
both are examples of vectors

Answer 1

In the picture you described, the sign on the left that says "5 meters long" represents a **scalar** quantity, as it only provides a magnitude (length) without any directional information. The sign on the right that says "5 meters east" represents a **vector** quantity, as it includes both a magnitude (5 meters) and a direction (east).

Based on this analysis, the correct answer is:

**b. A represents scalar and B represents vector.**
