velocity is a vector as it has both magnitude and direction

both measure how fast you are going but only velocity tells you the direction you are going in

2

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

distance is a scalar quantity as it only has magnitude

displacement is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction

displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end points
