No, distance is not a vector quantity. It is a Scalar Quantity because it doesn't tell you the direction its going in, it just tells you the distance the object moved.

Torque is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude (how strong the force is) and direction (the axis about which the force is applied).
Distance is a scalar quantity, as it has only magnitude and no direction. An example equation for distance is d = rt, where d is distance, r is rate, and t is time. This equation is used to calculate distance traveled when speed and time are known.
Scalar quantities are physical quantities that have only magnitude and no direction. Examples include mass, temperature, speed, and volume. These quantities are described fully by their magnitude alone.
A vector quantity is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Examples include velocity, force, and acceleration. Vectors are represented by arrows, where the length of the arrow represents the magnitude of the quantity and the direction of the arrow indicates the direction of the quantity.
Length is a scalar quantity. By definition, a vector quantity has both magnitude (ie. length) and direction. Length does not have direction, so it is not a vector. Length is a scalar quantity. Length is a scalar quantity. yes
