The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Scalar quantity is one which has magnitude only, example time, temperature, flux density. But vector quantity is one which has both magnitude and direction. In physics magnetic field is an entity produced by moving electric charges (electric currents) exerting a force on the other moving charges. A magnetic field is a vector quantity it associates with every point in space, a (pseudo) vector that may vary in time. The direction of the field is the equilibrium direction of a compass needle placed in the field.

Motion in a Plane

It is a vector quantity. A vector quantity is a quantity having both magnitude and direction. Speed is a scalar quantity and it is a quantity having a magnitude only. Motion in a plane is also known as motion in two dimensions. 

Equations of Plane Motion

The equations of motion in a straight line are:

v=u+at

s=ut+½ at2

v2-u2=2as

Where,

  • v = final velocity of the particle
  • u = initial velocity of the particle
  • s = displacement of the particle
  • a = acceleration of the particle
  • t = the time interval in which the particle is in consideration
