Answer 1

It has both magnitude and direction

Answer 2

It is always positive is not characteristic of displacement .

Explanation:

1. Displacement is defined as the length is measured at shortest distance .
2. Displacement is measured from final distance of a point from the initial point.
3. It has magnitude as well as direction.
4. It can be Positive, Negative and also Zero.
5. Displacement is similar to distance but difference is only direction.
6. Displacement is denoted by d or s ,also called length or distance.
7. It is a one-dimensional quantity representing the separation between two defined points.
