Choose all that apply.  1. distance is a vector and displacement is a scalar 2. distance is how far and displacement is how far in which direction 3. Displacement is defined by magnitude and direction both but distance is defined by magnitude only 4. displacement is calculated by how far the object travels without paying attention to the direction of travel, and distance is calculated by the change in position it the object 5.displacement is calculated by Calcutating the change in position of the object and distance is calculated by how far the object traveled without paying attention to the direction of travel.  6. displacement is a vector and distance is a scalar.
