Final answer:

Distance is a scalar quantity while displacement is a vector quantity in physics.


Explanation:

Distance is a scalar quantity because it only has magnitude and no direction. It represents the total length of the path traveled. On the other hand, speed is also a scalar quantity, as it only describes how fast an object is moving without considering direction.

Displacement and velocity are examples of vectors because they have both magnitude and direction. Displacement specifically indicates the change in position of an object from the starting point to the endpoint, making it a vector quantity.
