Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Distance and displacement are both measures of the interval between two locations, but distance is a scalar quantity (only magnitude) while displacement is a vector quantity (magnitude and direction). Similarly, speed is a scalar quantity representing how fast an object is moving, whereas velocity is a vector quantity that describes both the speed and direction of the object's motion.
