Answer 1

$\huge\bold{\textbf{\textsf{{\color{silver}{AnswEr}}}}}$$\huge\bold{\textbf{\textsf{{\color{pink}{:}}}}}$

Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion. Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

Answer 2

Distance is a scalar quantity as it only depends upon the magnitude and not the direction.

Displacement is a vector quantity as it depends upon both magnitude and direction. ... The distance can be measured along a non-straight path. Displacement can only be measured along a straight path.
