Question

On a drawing showing the movement of a kickball, you see an arrow above the ball labeled "10 m/s" and the arrow shows BOTH the speed and direction of the kickball. This arrow is _______.

a force arrow
a vector
a speed arrow
an acceleration arrow

Answer 1

Answer: a vector

Explanation: Scalar quantities are those which only have magnitude. Example: Speed(s) : It only gives the magnitude and not the direction.
`s=10ms^(-1)`

Vector quantities are those which have magnitude as well as direction. Vectors are represented by putting an arrow on the symbol. Example: velocity(v): It gives the magnitude as well as direction.
`v=10ms^(-1)` moving towards north.

Vector quantities are represented by putting an arrow above the symbol of the quantity as shown in image.

Answer 2

 The correct answer would be the second option. On a drawing showing the movement of a kickball, you see an arrow above the ball labeled "10 m/s" and the arrow shows BOTH the speed and direction of the kickball. This arrow is a vector. This is because it gives both direction and magnitude.
