Which of the following is not a vector quantity

A. Weight

B. Velocity

C. Acceleration

D. Force

Answer: Option A

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Option A: Weight
Weight is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude and direction (directed towards the center of the Earth).

Option B: Velocity
Velocity is a vector quantity because it represents both the speed and direction of an object.

Option C: Acceleration
Acceleration is also a vector quantity, as it defines the rate of change of velocity and includes direction.

Option D: Force
Force is a vector quantity, as it has both magnitude and direction, acting on an object to cause acceleration.

Correct Explanation: While all the options might seem to have directional attributes, **Weight** is actually a vector quantity.

There is no option in the given choices that represents a scalar (non-vector) quantity.

    Weight:

    Weight is the force exerted on an object due to gravity. It has both magnitude and direction (toward the center of the Earth), making it a vector quantity.
    Velocity:

    Velocity is a measure of the rate of change of position with direction. It has both magnitude (speed) and direction, so it is a vector quantity.
    Acceleration:

    Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. It also has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.
    Force:

    Force is an interaction that causes a change in the motion of an object. It has both magnitude and direction, so it is a vector quantity.
