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.
पर्याय
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.

Read the statement below carefully and state with reason, if it is true or false:
The average speed of a particle (defined as total path length divided by the time taken to cover the path) is either greater or equal to the magnitude of average velocity of the particle over the same interval of time.
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.
