Choose all of the following that represent scalars.

a
position
b
time
c
velocity
d
acceleration
e
mass
f
volume

1 answer

Scalars are quantities that have magnitude but no direction. From the options given, the following represent scalars:

  • b) time
  • e) mass
  • f) volume

The other options represent vectors, which have both magnitude and direction:

  • a) position (vector)
  • c) velocity (vector)
  • d) acceleration (vector)

So, the scalars among the options are time, mass, and volume.
