Which one of the following statements is true?
पर्याय
A scalar quantity is the one that is conserved in a process.
A scalar quantity is the one that can never take negative values.
A scalar quantity is the one that does not vary from one point to another in space.
A scalar quantity has the same value for observers with different orientation of the axes.
उत्तर
A scalar quantity has the same value for observers with different orientation of the axes.
Explanation:
The magnitude of a scalar quantity is everything that defines it. As a result, it has the same value for observers with varied axes orientations.

A hill is 500 m high. Supplies are to be sent across the hill using a canon that can hurl packets at a speed of 125 m/s over the hill. The canon is located at a distance of 800 m from the foot of hill and can be moved on the ground at a speed of 2 m/s; so that its distance from the hill can be adjusted. What is the shortest time in which a packet can reach on the ground across the hill? Take g = 10 m/s2.
