Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall vector - scalar definitions
Vectors have magnitude and direction, scalars have only magnitude.
Step2: Analyze question 1
Electric field is a vector as it has both magnitude and direction. Electric potential difference, charge and power are scalars. So the answer to question 1 is (1) electric field.
Step3: Analyze question 2
We use the formula for the x - component of a vector $A_x = A\cos\theta$, where $A = 612$ km/h and $\theta=40^{\circ}$. So $A_x=612\cos(40^{\circ})\approx469$ km/h.
Step4: Analyze question 3
Speed and mass are scalars. Momentum and displacement are vectors. So the answer to question 3 is (1) speed and mass.
Answer:
- (1) electric field
- (2) 469 km/h
- (1) speed and mass
