Displacement has both magnitude and direction, vector. Distance is scalar (path length). Speed scalar. Energy scalar. Vector examples: velocity, force, acceleration.
Explanation:
For small angular displacement, restoring force = -mg sinθ ≈ -mgθ, directed towards equilibrium. Tangential component of weight. Tension balances radial component. This causes SHM.
