question 4
which of the following is not a scalar quantity?
speed
acceleration
direction
distance
Brief Explanations
Scalar quantities have only magnitude. Speed is the rate of motion (magnitude of motion), distance is the total path length (magnitude), and they are scalars. Direction is not a quantity in the sense of scalar - it is a property for vectors. Acceleration is a vector as it has both magnitude (rate of change of velocity) and direction (the direction of the change in velocity).
