A scalar quantity is one that:
| 1. | is conserved in a process. |
| 2. | will never accept negative values. |
| 3. | must be dimensionless. |

If \(\overrightarrow{a}\) is a vector and \(x\) is a non-zero scalar, then which of the following is correct?
| 1. | \(x\overrightarrow{a}\) is a vector in the direction of \(\overrightarrow{a}\). |

| 3. | \(x\overrightarrow{a}\) and \(\overrightarrow{a}\) have independent directions. |
| 4. | \(x\overrightarrow{a}\) is a vector perpendicular to \(\overrightarrow{a}\). |
If \(\overrightarrow {A}= 2\hat i + 4\hat j- 5\hat k,\) then the direction cosines of the vector are:
(direction cosines (or directional cosines) of a vector are the cosines of the angles between the vector and the three \(+\)ve coordinate axes.)

A force \(F\) applied at a \(30^\circ\) angle to the \(x \)-axis has the following \(X\) and \(Y\) components:

4. \(100~\text{N}, ~0~\text{N}\)
A force is \(60^{\circ}\) inclined to the horizontal. If its rectangular component in the horizontal direction is \(50\) N, then the magnitude of the force in the vertical direction is:
| 1. | \(25\) N | 2. | \(75\) N |
| 3. | \(87\) N | 4. | \(100\) N |
