Question
Pick out the only vector quantity in the following list:
Temperature, pressure, impulse, time, power, total path length, energy, gravitational potential, coefficient of friction, charge.

Answer

Since, Impulse = change in momentum = force × time. As momentum and force are vector quantities, hence impulse is a vector quantity.
