NEET Physics Scalar & Vector Products MCQ Question
Which of the following combinations regarding scalar and vector quantities is correct?
A scalar has only magnitude, while a vector has both magnitude and direction.
The total path length is always equal to the magnitude of the displacement vector.
Average speed can be less than average velocity over a given time interval.
Each component of a vector can be a vector itself.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
A scalar has only magnitude, while a vector has both magnitude and direction, making option A correct. The total path length is not equal to the magnitude of the displacement vector, and average speed is always greater than or equal to average velocity, which makes options B and C incorrect. Each component of a vector is a scalar, not a vector, so option D is also incorrect.
