Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Acceleration has both magnitude and direction. because velocity is vector quantity

average velocity is vector

linear momentum = mass× velocity

therefore it's also vector

force = mass× acceleration

acceleration is vector therefore force also vector

potential energy= mgh

energy in any form is scaler quantity therefore potential energy too is a scaler quantity.
