Which of the following is NOT a vector quantity? (A) Acceleration
(B) Average velocity
(C) Linear momentum
(D) Potential energy
(E) Force

D

Explanation:

Acceleration has both magnitude and direction. because velocity is vector quantity

average velocity is vector

linear momentum = mass× velocity

therefore it's also vector

force = mass× acceleration

acceleration is vector therefore force also vector

potential energy= mgh

energy in any form is scaler quantity therefore potential energy too is a scaler quantity.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
