Which of the following is a vector quantity?

Answer: Displacement.

  • A Speed
  • B Distance
  • C Mass
  • D Displacement

Correct answer: D. Displacement

Explanation: Displacement has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector. Speed, distance, and mass are scalars.

tvuvTΔtΔvslope = aarea = displacement (s)

On a velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration, the slope of the line gives the acceleration and the shaded area under the line gives the displacement.

Concept context
