NEETPhysicsMotion in Two Dimensions

Is the following statement true or false, and provide a reason: "The magnitude of a vector is always a scalar."

Options

  1. ATrue, because the magnitude of a vector represents its size and is expressed as a scalar quantity.
  2. BFalse, because the magnitude of a vector can sometimes be a vector quantity.
  3. CTrue, because vectors only have magnitude and no direction.
  4. DFalse, because vectors always have both magnitude and direction.

Correct answer

A. True, because the magnitude of a vector represents its size and is expressed as a scalar quantity.

Step-by-step solution

Correct Option is : (A) True, because the magnitude of a vector represents its size and is expressed as a scalar quantity.
