Solution

S. No Scalar quantity Vector quantity
1. Mass (It has magnitude only) Force (It has magnitude and direction both)
2. Temperature (It has magnitude only) Momentum (It has magnitude and direction both)
3. Pressure (It has magnitude only and no specific direction) Displacement (It has magnitude and direction both)
4. Electric potential (It has magnitude only) Acceleration (It has magnitude and direction both)
5. Distance (It has magnitude only) Moment of force (It has magnitude and direction both)
