Pick out the only vector quantity in the following list:
Read the statement below carefully and state with reason, if it is true or false:
The magnitude of a vector is always a scalar.
The position of a particle is given by
`r = 3.0t hati − 2.0t 2 hatj + 4.0 hatk m`
Where t is in seconds and the coefficients have the proper units for r to be in metres.
- Find the v and a of the particle?
- What is the magnitude and direction of velocity of the particle at t = 2.0 s?
A vector has magnitude and direction. Does it have a location in space? Can it vary with time? Will two equal vectors a and b at different locations in space necessarily have identical physical effects? Give examples in support of your answer.

Which one of the following statements is true?
Following are four differrent relations about displacement, velocity and acceleration for the motion of a particle in general. Choose the incorrect one (s):
- `v_(av) = 1/2 [v(t_1) + v(t_2)]`
- `v_(av) = (r(t_2) - r(t_1))/(t_2 - t_1)`
- `r = 1/2 (v(t_2) - v(t_1))(t_2 - t_1)`
- `a_(av) = (v(t_2) - v(t_1))/(t_2 - t_1)`
If |A| = 2 and |B| = 4, then match the relations in column I with the angle θ between A and B in column II.
| Column I | Column II |
| (a) A.B = 0 | (i) θ = 0 |
| (b) A.B = + 8 | (ii) θ = 90° |
| (c) A.B = 4 | (iii) θ = 180° |
| (d) A.B = – 8 | (iv) θ = 60° |
