Question 2. Check the following measures as scalars and vectors: (i) 10 kg (ii) 2 meters north-west (iii) 40° (iv) 40 Watt (v) 10 –19 coulomb (vi) 20 m/sec 2 Solution : (i) 10 kg is a measure of mass, it has no direction, it is magnitude only and therefore it is a scalar. (ii) 2 meters North-West us a measure of velocity. It has magnitude and direction both and hence it is a vector. (iii) 40° is a measure of angle. It has no direction, it has magnitude only. Therefore it is a scalar. (iv) 40 Watt is a measure of power. It has no direction, only magnitude and therefore, it is a scalar. (v) 10 –19 coulomb is a measure of electric charge and it has magnitude only, therefore, it is a scalar. (vi) 20 m/sec 2 is a measure of acceleration. It is a measure of rate of change of velocity, therefore, it is a vector. Question 3. Classify the following as scalar and vector quantities: (i) time period (ii) distance (iii) force (iv) velocity (v) work done Solution : (i) Time-scalar (ii) Distance-scalar (iii) Force-vector (iv) Velocity-vector (v) Work done-scalarNCERT Solutions for Class 12 Maths Chapter 10 Exercise 10.3
Question 4. In the adjoining figure, (a square) identify the following vectors:
(i) Coinitial
(ii) Equal
(iii) Collinear but not equal
Solution :
(i)
and
have same initial point and therefore coinitial vectors.
(ii)
and
have same direction and same magnitude. Therefore
and
are equal vectors.
(iii)
and
have parallel support, so that they are collinear. Since they have opposite directions, they are not equal. Hence
and
are collinear but not equal.
Question
5. Answer the following as true or false:
(i)
and -
are collinear.
(ii) Two collinear vectors are always equal in magnitude.
(iii) Two vectors having same magnitude are collinear.
(iv) Two collinear vectors having the same magnitude are equal.
Solution :
(i) True. Vectors
and-
are parallel to the same line.
(ii) False.
Collinear vectors are those vectors that are parallel to the same line.
(iii) False.
Collinear vectors are those vectors that are parallel to the same line.
(iv) False.
Two vectors are said to be equal if they have the same magnitude and direction, regardless of the positions of their initial points.
