Question

which statement correctly classifies distance and displacement? (1 point)
○ both distance and displacement are vector quantities.
○ distance is a scalar quantity, and displacement is a vector quantity.
○ both distance and displacement are scalar quantities
○ distance is a vector quantity, and displacement is a scalar quantity.

Distance only has magnitude, so it is a scalar. Displacement has both magnitude and direction, so it is a vector.

Answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity, and displacement is a vector quantity.
