true
Momentum is a vector quantity. We know that momentum is the product of mass and velocity, and velocity has direction. That makes velocity a vector quantity. And the product of a scalar quantity and a vector quantity is a vector quantity.
It can be both true or false - you can treat distance as a scalar, or as a vector. If you say that (say) the distance from the cities of Cochabamba and Quillacollo is 13 kilometers - WITHOUT specifiying the direction - then it is a scalar. If you also say that Quillacollo is to the east of Cochabamba, then it is a vector.
A vector quantity is one which transforms like the coordinates. In other words, if a coordinate system is transformed by an operator , any vector quantity in the old coordinate system can be transformed to its equivalent in the new system by the same operator. An example of a vector quantity is displacement (r). If displacement is a vector, the rate of change of displacement (dr/dt) or the velocity is also a vector. The mass of an object (M) is a scalar quantity. Multiplying a vector by a scalar yields a vector. So momentum, which is the mass multiplied by velocity, is also a vector. Momentum too transforms like the coordinates, much like any other vector. The definition of a vector as a quantity having "magnitude and direction" is simply wrong. For example, electric current has "magnitude and direction", but is a scalar and not a vector.
no, acceleration is not a vector quantity. its false
True, a vector quantity has direction, and a scalar quantity does not.

True
TRUE. However, if you said '60 miles per hour in a northerly direction' , then that is a vector quantity. because it has direction.
Finding an answer to that question is exceedingly difficult, mainly because its hypothesis is false. Displacement is a vector, not a scalar.
Speed and distance are examples of scalar quantities, meaning they only have magnitude. Velocity and displacement are vector quantities, meaning they have both magnitude and direction.Examples of scalar quantities:speed (s) - 10 m/s or 36 km/hdistance (d) - 100 m or 0.1 kmExamples of vector quantities:velocity (v) - 10 m/s [E] or 36 km/h [E]displacement (Δd) - 100 m [E] or 0.1 km [E]The value in square brackets (for vector quantities) indicate direction and include, but not limited to:[S], [N], [E], [W], [45°], [45° E of S], [45° S of E], [forward], [backward] [up/↑], [down/↓], etc...
