Solution

The correct option is B

False


In the question, we are talking about the linear distance the ball travelled because of the applied force. The distance is 30m, which is the magnitude of this physical quantity. Have we specified anything about the direction i.e., in which direction the ball is thrown (East, West, North, South). The answer is No. So this quantity only has magnitude but no direction. Hence it’s a scalar quantity.
