Mass is not a vector quantity.
- A scalar quantity has magnitude only, whereas vector quantity has both direction and magnitude.
- Now, there are four physical quantities mentioned in the question -
- Mass
- Velocity
- Momentum
- Force
- Among the given physical quantities, velocity, momentum and force, can have both magnitude and direction. So, all of them are vector quantities for sure.
- But, mass (a fundamental quantity) has only magnitude. It's impossible (and illogical also) to determine the direction of mass. Hence, we can conclude that mass is a scalar quantity, (or, mass is not a vector quantity).
