AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the given quantities are scalars or vectors, we will analyze each one based on their definitions and characteristics. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Pressure**: - Pressure is defined as force per unit area. - Although force is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction), pressure does not have a direction associated with it. It only has magnitude. - **Conclusion**: Pressure is a **scalar** quantity. ...
