Displacement

The video explains displacement as a vector quantity, highlighting its characteristics of having both magnitude and direction. It uses a car journey example to differentiate between total distance traveled and displacement, illustrating how a car driving 400 meters east and then 300 meters south results in a displacement of 500 meters in a southeast direction.

Discuss how the concepts of magnitude and direction apply to vector quantities.
