• Scalar quantities give a magnitude, while vector quantities give a magnitude and a direction. The answer will be a measurement that does not change, regardless of the direction of action. Displacement is a measure of length in a given direction; distance is the scalar version of displacement. ... Mass is a scalar quantity.
