A scalar quantity is one that:
1. | is conserved in a process. |
2. | will never accept negative values. |
3. | must be dimensionless. |
4. | has the same value for observers with different orientations of axes. |
The position of a particle in a rectangular co-ordinate system is \((3, 2, 5)\). Then its position vector will be:
1. \(5\hat i + 6\hat j + 2\hat k\)
2. \(3\hat i + 2\hat j + 5\hat k\)
3. \(5\hat i + 3\hat j + 2\hat k\)
4. None of these
