Assertion: Adding a scalar to a vector of the same dimensions is a meanigful algeraic operation. Reason: The displacement can be added with distance.

State with reasons whether the following algebric operations with scalar and vector phisical quantities are meaningful : (a) adding any two scalars (b) adding a scalar to a vector of the same dimensions (c) multiplying any vector by any scalar (d) multiplaying any two scalars (e) adding any two vectors (f) adding a component of a vector to the same vector .

Assertion: The displacement of a body is vector sum of the area under velocity-time graph. Reason: Displacement is a vector quantity.

Assertion Stress and modulus of elasticity have the same dimensions Reason Strain is dimensionless.

Assertion : Average speed is equal to the magnitude of average velocity. Reason: Displacement of body is less or equal to distance.

Assertion : If the displacement of the body is zero, the distance covered by it may not be zero. Reason : Displacement is a vector quantity and distance is a scalar quantity.

Assertion: Multiplying any vector by an scalar is meaningful operatons. Reason: In uniform motion spedd remains constant.

Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero. Reason: The displacement is the longest distance between initial and final position.

Assertion : If the initial and final positions coincide, the displacement is a null vector. Reason : A physical quantity cannot be called a vector, if its magnitude is zero.

Assertion: Distance is a actual length of the path but displacement is a shortest distance between initial and final position. Reason: Distance is a scalar quantity and it is always positive but displacement is a vector quantity. It may be positive, negative or zero.
