Which one of these options is NOT a vector quantity
A
Force
B
Displacement
C
Momentum
D
Energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lastly, potential energy is not a vector quantity because it does not have a direction. Energy does not have a direction, and it is a scalar quantity. Hence, potential energy is the correct choice.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mass and energy are scalar quantities, while momentum is a vector quantity.

Detailed explanation-3: -Distance is the quantity which is not vector. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-4: -They are actually derived from vector quantities of force and displacement by taking their scalar product. Hence, the correct answer is that energy is NOT a vector quantity.

Detailed explanation-5: -Kinetic energy is not a vector, since it has no direction associated with it.
