Yes. Displacement requires a direction and hence is a vector
Displacement is a vector quantity and not a scalar quantity. This is because displacement has both magnitude and direction.
You'll need to provide a context. In naval engineering, displacement is a scalar quantity; if you're talking about motion, then it's a vector quantity.

b. distance is a scalar quantity.
There is a big difference between Scalar and vector quantity. Vector quantity means something where direction is not important.eg- Displacement(the shortest distance between the displacement points of an object). whereas in scalar quantity Direction is important. eg. Speed
no, it's a vector dude
length is a scalar quantity buddy . but displacement is vector quantity. Length is a vector quantity If it is associated with direction.. Because having direction make it vector... S0 being vector or scalar depends upon how and where it is used..
Amplitude is a scalar quantity. It represents the maximum displacement of a wave from its equilibrium position and does not have a direction associated with it.
Velocity is a vector.Its magnitude is called 'speed'.
Displacement is measured in distance, so any measurement dealing with only distance will work. The SI units are meters.

It can be both true or false - you can treat distance as a scalar, or as a vector. If you say that (say) the distance from the cities of Cochabamba and Quillacollo is 13 kilometers - WITHOUT specifiying the direction - then it is a scalar. If you also say that Quillacollo is to the east of Cochabamba, then it is a vector.
