(a) Displacement is a vector quantity whereas distance is a scalar quantity.

(b) The physical quantity which gives both, the speed and direction of motion of a body is called its velocity.

(c) A motorcycle has a steady acceleration of $3\ m/s^2$. This means that every second its velocity increases by $3\ m/s$.

(d) Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. It is measured in m/s.

(e) Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. It is measured in $m/s^2$.
