Which of the following option(s) represent a vector quantity?
Correct answer: D. Both a and b
- A. kgms-1
- B. kgms-2
- C. kg
- D. Both a and b
Explanation
In option a the units represented are of momentum and in option b the units are of force both of which are the vector quantities. While option c shows the unit of mass, which is a scalar quantity.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
