Read the statement below carefully and state, with reason and example, if it is true or false:
A scalar quantity is one that is conserved in a process.
विकल्प
True
False
उत्तर
This statement is False.
Explanation:
The statement is incorrect because many scalar quantities are not preserved during a process. For example, energy, which is a scalar quantity, is not conserved in inelastic collisions.
