30. In physics, we can classify quantities as scalars or vectors. Basically, the difference
is that a direction is associated with a vector but not with a scalar. A scalar quantity is a
quantity with magnitude only. It is specified completely by a single number, along with
the proper unit. Examples are: the distance between two points, mass of an object, the
temperature of a body and the time at which a certain event happened. The rules for
combining scalars are the rules of ordinary algebra. Scalars can be added, subtracted,
multiplied and divided just as the ordinary numbers. A vector quantity is a quantity that
has both a magnitude and a direction and obeys the triangle law of addition or
equivalently the parallelogram law of addition. So, a vector is specified by giving its
magnitude by a number and its direction. Some physical quantities that are represented
by vectors are displacement, velocity, acceleration and force. Answer the following

1) When a vector is divided by its own magnitude we get a new vector known as

a) Null vector

b) Unit Vector

c) Normal Vector

d) Fixed Vector

2) The angle between the rectangular components of a vector is always

a) less than 90 degree

b) greater than 90 degree

c) equal to 180 degree

d) equal to 90 degree

3) The magnitude of j^.(j^×k^)is

a)0

b)1

c)-1

d)2

4) Choose the scalar quantities :

a)Energy and force

b)Speed and mass

c)Temperature and velocity

d)Volume and weight

31. A moving car experiences a force F due to air resistance. It is known that F depends
on a product of powers of its velocity v, its cross-sectional area A and the air density p,
and is given by F = ½ C pα vβAγ, where C is a dimensionless constant.

(a) Write down the dimensions of force and density
