Question on: JAMB Physics - 2015
Which one of the following is a vector quantity?
A
Temperature gradient
B
Mass
C
Work
D
Time
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
Temperature gradient(Tg) = DT ÷ L = T2 – T1 ÷ L
i.e– it is the ratio of an increment in temperature to the length
Hence, Temperature gradient (Tg) has defined direction alongside with magnitude
And it is a vector gratuity
Mass, work & Time are scalar quantity
Add your answer
Please share this, thanks!
