Displacement — definition?
Straight-line change in position, vector quantity.
Displacement — definition?
Straight-line change in position, vector quantity.
Speed vs Velocity — difference?
Speed is scalar; velocity includes direction.
Distance — definition?
Total path length traveled, scalar quantity.
Acceleration — role?
Rate of change of velocity over time.
Speed — role?
Measures how fast an object moves; scalar.
Velocity — role?
Indicates rate and direction of motion; vector.
