Question

Which of the following is a vector quantity and why
A.Distance. B.Displacement

Answer 1

Answer:

displacement

Explanation:

because, displacement has both magnitude and direction and distance dont have any direction(for calculations). vectors are those having both magnitude and directions and satisfies the triangle law and paralellogram law of vector addition.

HOPE THIS IS HELPFULL...

Answer 2

Answer:Displacement is a vector quantity.

Explanation:

As you know, velocity is displacement per unit time. And velocity is a vector quantity, so from this we can conclude displacement as a vector quantity too.

MORE INFORMATION

There are two quantity

1. Vector

2. Scalar

1. Vector quantity defines the velocity which means having particular direction and magnitude.

They also follow the parallelogram law and triangle law of vector addition.

2. Scalar quantity defines the distance which do not have its particular direction and magnitude.

They do not follow vector addition laws..
