What is the vector physical quantity of length?

Scalar and vector quantities, such as displacement, contain two pieces of information. One is a direction the other is...

The dotted line shows the ground covered by a student. Which of the following options is correct?

• The distance is less than the magnitude of the displacement

• The distance covered is 275 m

• The magnitude of the displacement is 60 m

• The magnitude of the displacement is greater than the distance
