Numerical values and directions are stated for a variety of quantities. Which of these statements represent a scalar description? Group of answer choices
20 meters East
3.5 m/s/s, south
9.8 m/s North
60 minutes
A scalar quantity is one that is described by a magnitude alone and does not have a direction. Among the options provided, the only statement that represents a scalar description is:
60 minutes
The other options (20 meters East, 3.5 m/s/s south, and 9.8 m/s North) all include directional components, making them vector quantities.
