Answer:

Which of the following is a scalar quantity, and not a vector?

Temperature

Explanation:

Force: The interaction which after applying on a body changes or try to change the state of rest or state of motion is called force.

It is a vector quantity.

Temperature: The measurement of hotness is called temperature.

It is a scalar quantity.

Scalar quantities: The physical quantities which have only magnitude and no direction are

called scalar quantities or scalars.

Examples: Mass, volume, density, time, temperature, electric current, Luminious intensity, etc. Vector quantities: The physical quantities which have both magnitude and direction and obey

the laws of vector addition are called vector quantities or vectors.
