Vector quantities have magnitude and direction, while scalar quantities only have magnitude. (correct)

Vector quantities represent linear motion, while scalar quantities represent rotational motion.

Vector quantities have magnitude only, while scalar quantities have magnitude and direction.

Which one of the following correctly distinguishes between distance and displacement in linear motion?

Distance is the change in position from start to end, while displacement is the total path length traveled.

Distance and displacement are the same in linear motion.

Distance and displacement are only different in rotational motion.
