MCQ

Which one of the following statements is true?

A
A scalar quantity is the one that is conserved in a process.
B
A scalar quantity is the one that can never take negative values.
C
A scalar quantity is the one that does not vary from one point to another in space.
✓
A scalar quantity has the same value for observers with different orientations of the axes.

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

A scalar quantity has the same value for observers with different orientations of the axes.

A scalar quantity does not depend on direction so it does not change for different orientation of axes. So this verifies the option (d).
