Question

which of the following is true about displacement?
it is a vector quantity
it is always positive
it only considers magnitude
it is a scalar quantity

Explanation:

• Displacement is a vector quantity as it has both magnitude (distance between initial and final position) and direction (from initial to final position).
• It is not always positive (can be negative depending on direction), does not only consider magnitude (direction matters), and is not a scalar (scalars have only magnitude). So the correct statement is "It is a vector quantity".

Answer:

It is a vector quantity
