Similarities between distance and displacement

similarities between speed and velocity

5 answers

In both cases, magnitude is the same units

however distance and speed are scalars and ONLY HAVE MAGNITUDE

but

displacement and velocity are VECTORS and have both magnitude and DIRECTION

Your speedometer measures speed
but
for velocity you need a compass as well

Your odometer measures distance
but
for displacement you need a gps
what is vector
Vector is quantity that is one which has direction as well as magnitude
