Question

explain WHY displacement is a vector quantity.
give explanation to support your answer please​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

ANSWER:-

Scalar and Vector Quantities; what are these?

SCALAR QUANTITIES:-

• Scalar quantities are those which depend on magnitude of a object only.
• For Example:-
• Time, volume, mass, Distance etc.

VECTOR QUANTITIES:-

• The vector quantities depend on magnitude as well as direction
• For example:-
• Displacement, velocity, force, acceleration

Displacement as a Vector Quantity:-

• We know that the shortest distance covered by a body is Displacement
• The main reason is it is dependant both on magnitude and direction of a body.
• EXAMPLE:
• If you complete a round circle twice or thrice, distance may be greater, but displacement will be zero
• This is how displacement is Vector Quantity.
• This is because you returned to starting position again
• Again,they follow vector law of triangular addition.

Answer 2

Answer: Displacement is a vector quantity because it depends upon magnitude as well as direction.

And vector quantities are those who depend upon magnitude and direction.

Therefore, displacement is a vector quantity.
