Question

1. what type of quantities are distance and displacement? distance is a scalar and displacement is a vector. distance and displacement are both scalars. distance and displacement are both vectors. displacement is a scalar and distance is a vector.

Explanation:

A scalar quantity has only magnitude, while a vector quantity has both magnitude and direction. Distance is the total path length traveled (only magnitude), so it is a scalar. Displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position with a specific direction, so it is a vector.

Answer:

Distance is a scalar and displacement is a vector.
