Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Displacement and velocity both are vector quantity not scalar. Scalar quantities are those who have magnitude only and no direction, but in vector quantities have both magnitude as well as direction. Displacement considers direction whereas distance does not. Velocity consider direction whereas speed does not. Velocity is the ratio of displacement( vector quantity) to the time.
