Determine if the following statement is true or false: Temperature is a vector.
A
True
B
False
C
Cannot be determined

1
Understand the definition of a vector: A vector is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
Consider the nature of temperature: Temperature is a scalar quantity, which means it only has magnitude and no direction.
Compare temperature with a vector: Since temperature lacks a directional component, it does not meet the criteria to be considered a vector.
Evaluate the statement: Based on the definitions, determine whether the statement 'Temperature is a vector' is true or false.
Conclude that the statement is false because temperature is a scalar quantity, not a vector.
