Solution :-

(i) Time period is a scalar quantity as it involves only magnitude.

(ii) Distance is a scalar quantity as it involves only magnitude.

(iii) Displacement is vector quantity as it involves both magnitude and direction.

(iv) Force is a vector quantity as it involves both magnitude and direction.

(v) Work done is a scalar quantity as it involves only magnitude.

(vi) Velocity is a vector quantity as it involves both magnitude as well as direction.

(vii) Acceleration is a vector quantity as it involves both magnitude as well as direction.
