KCET2014PhysicsMotion in Two Dimensions

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

Options

AWeight
BNuclear spin
CMomentum
DPotential energy

Correct answer

D. Potential energy

Step-by-step solution

A vector is a quantity that is fully described by both magnitude and direction. A scalar is a quantity that is fully described by magnitude only. Among the given quantities potential energy is not a vector quantity.
