- Quantities can be scalars or vectors. Scalars only have size, whereas vectors have both size and direction.
- Vector quantities can be represented as arrows that point in the direction of the vector. Their length represents the size of the vector.
- Distance is a scalar quantity that describes how far an object moves or how far apart two objects are. Displacement is a vector quantity measured as a straight line from a start point to a finish point.
