Question

The quantities like distance and displacement are known as​

Answer 1

Vector quantities such as displacement are direction aware. Scalar quantities such as distance are ignorant of direction. In determining the overall distance traveled by the physics teachers, the various directions of motion can be ignored.

Answer 2

The quantities like distance and displacement are known as physical quantities.

• Distance is the total length of the path covered. It is a scalar quantity and its SI unit is meter.
• Displacement is the shortest route between two given points. It is a vector quantity.
• So, distance and displacement, both are different physical quantities.
• The magnitude of displacement is always less than or equal to the distance covered.
