Understanding Scalar, Vector and Distance Terms

[Physics Time]

Could you please help me understand how these terms relate to one another?

Scalar, Vector, Displacement, Distance, Speed, Velocity, Accelaration, Position?

So Distance is a scalar Quantity, what is a Scaler? Displacement is a vector quantity, what is a Vector? Is velocity just the unit like kilometres per hour? Speed is the distance traveled and doesn't require a direction.

I need to know these terms.

A scalar is anything that you can measure that just needs a number. Examples of a scalar are temperature, your age, how much money you have in the bank, how fast your car goes.

A vector is anything that needs a number and a direction to tell you examples are the wind velocity, the force of gravity, where the Sun is.

So yes, your last statement is correct.
