Answer 1

Explanation:

Displacement is a vector quantity and it can be Negative, positive or zero whereas distance is a scalar quantity and it cannot be negative but it can be zero.

In one dimension the direction is indicated by the sign: negative if to the left and positive if to the right. The word distance means how far the object moves regardless of direction. It is always positive and is equal to the absolute value, or magnitude, of the displacement

Answer 2

$\huge\mathfrak{♡Answer}$

☢️Displacement is a vector quantity, which means that we need to specify a magnitude and direction. So, unlike distance, displacement cares what direction the object is going when it moves between two points. So, in one dimension, displacement can be positive, negative, or zero.

☢️A negative velocity means that the object which has the negative velocity is moving in the opposite direction of an object moving at a positive velocity. This is a question of frame of reference. The possibility for the velocity is what makes it different to the speed. Speed is only positive.
