    Distance is a scalar quantity that represents the magnitude between two points without direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that represents both the magnitude and direction between two points, such as being 200m to the east. Scalar quantities include length, volume, area, speed, energy, work, density, temperature and time, while vector quantities include displacement, velocity, force, acceleration and momentum.

    3 Understanding Scalar and Vector quantities

    Hello, please come and meet me now. I am 200 m at the east from you.

    Can you locate your friend ? What additional information do you need to locate her ? direction

    Quantities that have magnitude but no direction scalar quantities.


    Quantities that have both magnitude and direction vector quantities.
    scala r
    A B

    Distance between A and B is 200 m Displacement B is 200m to the east of A.
