Which of the following is not a vector quantity? (1) Speed (2) Velocity (3) Torque (4) Displacement
by

1 Answer

Answer :

(1) Speed Explanation: Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to "how fast an object is moving." Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. It does not keep track of direction. In contrast, velocity is a vector quantity as it is direction aware.
