Question

Which is a vector quantity?
• b
speed velocity
Question 2
What is the difference between distance and displacement?
C
d
Distance is a measure of length of travel. Displacement is the measure of the time it takes to move that length
Distance is the difference between how quickly you move between two points. Displacement is the average of that motion Distance is the length of travel. Displacement is the straight line distance between the starting point and the ending point Distance is measured in feet. Displacement is measured in meters
Question 3
Choose all of the following that represent scalars.
• a
volume
time
• c
mass
• d acceleration
• e
velocity
O f
position
Question 4
Which of the following is the scalar value?
O
• b
Distance
Displacement

Answer 1

Q1 — Vector quantity:
- Velocity. (Velocity has magnitude and direction; speed is only magnitude.)

Q2 — Difference between distance and displacement:
- Correct: "Distance is the length of travel. Displacement is the straight‑line distance (with direction) between the starting point and the ending point."
- Distance is a scalar (path length). Displacement is a vector (straight-line change in position).

Q3 — Scalars (choose all that apply):
- Volume, time, mass.
- Acceleration, velocity, and position are vectors (they have direction).

Q4 — Scalar value:
- Distance. (Displacement is a vector.)
