To determine whether each statement regarding scalar quantities is true or false, we will analyze each statement one by one, providing reasoning and examples. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A: A scalar quantity is conserved in a process.** - **Analysis:** This statement is **False**. While some scalar quantities, like energy, can be conserved in certain processes, they are not universally conserved in all processes. For example, in an inelastic collision, kinetic energy (a scalar quantity) is not conserved. - **Example:** In an inelastic collision, the total kinetic energy before the collision is greater than the total kinetic energy after the collision, indicating that kinetic energy is not conserved. ...
