Question

Is volume a vector quantity?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

  1. Volume speaks of magnitude since it describes how much space an object takes up, but it says nothing about direction.
  2. Volume is a scalar quantity rather than a vector.
  3. While a vector quantity has both magnitude and direction, a scalar quantity just has magnitude.
  4. Other than volume, scalar quantities that have magnitude include mass, speed, energy, time, etc.

Hence, volume is not a vector quantity.
