Question

Vector quantity has :

• A. Only magnitude
• B. Only direction
• C. Magnitude and direction
• D. Geometrical

Hint:

Direction is the key feature that distinguishes vector quantities from scalar quantities.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Physical quantities are classified as scalar and vector quantities.
• Scalar quantities have only magnitude.
• Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Examples of vector quantities include displacement, velocity, force, and acceleration.

Step 1: Recall the definition of vector quantity.
A vector quantity is completely described by: \[ \text{Magnitude and Direction} \]

Step 2: Identify the correct option.
Among the given choices, the correct characteristic of a vector quantity is: \[ \text{Magnitude and direction} \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(C)\ \text{Magnitude and direction}} \]
