A scalar quantity has
magnitude
(
size
) only.
A
vector
has
magnitude
and
direction.
Vectors
are
always represented
by
arrows.
The
point
of the arrow shows the
direction
and the
length
shows the
magnitude
of the vector.
Displacement has a
magnitude
and a
direction
so it’s a
vector.
Distance only has
magnitude
so it’s a
scalar.
