Detailed Solution

No, energy is not a vector quantity. Energy is a scalar quantity because it has magnitude but no direction.

  • Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction (e.g., force, velocity).
  • Scalar quantities have only magnitude (e.g., energy, mass, temperature).
  • Energy can be added algebraically, regardless of direction, which makes it a scalar quantity.
