Question
Pick out the only vector quantity in the following list:
Options
Temperature
Pressure
Impulse
Time
Power
Total path length
Energy
Gravitational potential
Coefficient of friction
Charge
Solution
Impulse
Explanation:
Impulse is given by the product of force and time. Since force is a vector quantity, its product with time (a scalar quantity) gives a vector quantity.
