The correct Answer is:
To determine which physical quantity is different from the others among displacement, velocity, force, and kinetic energy, we will analyze each quantity based on their characteristics. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Physical Quantities**: - The given quantities are: - Displacement - Velocity - Force - Kinetic Energy 2. **Classify Each Quantity**: - **Displacement**: - Definition: The shortest distance from the initial to the final position. - Type: Vector quantity (has both magnitude and direction). - **Velocity**: - Definition: The rate of change of displacement. - Type: Vector quantity (has both magnitude and direction). - **Force**: - Definition: The product of mass and acceleration (F = ma). - Type: Vector quantity (has both magnitude and direction). - **Kinetic Energy**: - Definition: The energy possessed by an object due to its motion, calculated as \( KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2 \). - Type: Scalar quantity (has only magnitude, no direction). 3. **Compare the Quantities**: - Displacement, velocity, and force are all vector quantities, meaning they have both magnitude and direction. - Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is a scalar quantity, meaning it only has magnitude and no direction. 4. **Conclusion**: - Since kinetic energy is the only scalar quantity among the options provided, it is different from the others. ### Final Answer: The physical quantity that is different from the others is **kinetic energy (D)**. ---
