That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Work is a scalar quantity, which means it only has magnitude and no direction. In physics, work is defined as the product of the force applied to an object and the distance over which that force is applied, in the direction of the force. Since it does not involve direction, it is considered a scalar quantity. Unlike vector quantities, which have both magnitude and direction, scalar quantities like work are described by a single numerical value. This distinction is important in understanding the fundamental concepts of physics and how different physical quantities are measured and analyzed.
