When a wheel moves along a road it has direction, distance and speed.
Vectors deal with direction and magnitude (e.g. The amount of force acting up when you pull a box along a floor)
Scalars deals with magnitude (e.g. The amount of force you are putting on the box)
Scalar quantities are:
Speed - rate of change of distance
Distance - The amount moved in metres
Mass - The amount of substance
Vector quantities are:
Velocity - speed in a certain direction
Displacement - Distance in a certain direction (If you walk run to a wall and back to the same spot you have 0m displacement)
Weight - The force acting on a mass due to gravity
