Answer 1

Explanation:

Distance is the __scaler__ physical quantity while displacement is a __vector__ physical quantity.

Answer 2

Answer:

Distance is the Scalar physical quantity while displacement is a Vector physical quantity.

Explanation:

• Distance is defined as the quantity of area between two items or the condition of existing far apart.
• The displacement exists simply as the distinction in the place of the two marks and is independent of the path taken when traversing between the two marks.
• Distance is typically a way traveled by a body without indicating the direction in which the body traveled. So it stands scalar.
• Now, when we overlook to discover the shortest distance i. e displacement we require to know the direction in which the body crosses. So it exists as a vector.

Hence, Distance is the Scalar physical quantity while displacement is a Vector physical quantity.
