  • What is distance?
    How far an object moves, distance doesn't involve direction, it is a scalar quantity
  • What is displacement?
    Includes both the distance an object moves, measured in a straight line from the start point to the finish point and the direction of that straight line, vector quantity
  • Typical Speeds:
  • What is the equation for speed?
    speed = distance/time
  • How do you calculate the average speed?
    average speed = total distance/total time
