\nAmong the given physical quantities, only Impulse is a vector quantity. A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction. Impulse is defined as the change in momentum of an object, and momentum (mass \u00d7 velocity) is a vector quantity. Impulse is also equal to the force multiplied by the time interval over which the force acts (when force is constant), and force is a vector.
\n<\/section>\n
\nIdentifying whether a physical quantity is a vector or a scalar is a basic concept in physics.
\n<\/section>\n
\nEnergy, power, pressure, temperature, and gravitational potential are all scalar quantities. Scalar quantities are completely described by their magnitude alone. While pressure involves force (a vector) acting over an area (direction can be associated with area normal), pressure itself at a point is a scalar property of the fluid or material. Gravitational potential is potential energy per unit mass, and potential energy is a scalar.
