1. Distance and Displacement
- Distance is a scalar quantity, which measures the full length of the object has gone through/between two things.
- ExampleIn a 257 m running track, the distance between start point and end point is 257 m.
- Displacement is a vector quantity, which is final subtracted by initial, become displacement.
- ExampleIn a 257 m running track, the displacement between start point and end point is 0 m.
2. Speed and Velocity
- Speed is distance divided by time. As distance itself is a scalar quantity, speed is also a scalar quantity. It measures how fast someone or something is moving or operating.
- Example
Her maximum speed of running is 15 km per hour.
- Velocity is displacement divided by time. As displacement itself is a vector quantity, velocity is also a vector quantity. It measures the rate at which the the object change its position.
- ExampleHer velocity from the start point to the end point of the running track is zero.
3. Acceleration and Deceleration
- Acceleration is the rate of change in increasing velocity per unit over time.
- ExampleSports car has better acceleration than any other normal car.
- Deceleration is the opposite of acceleration, which is the decreasing rate of velocity per unit over time.
- ExampleShe has been running for 1 hours non-stop, that she is too tired and her speed has been decelerating since 5 minutes ago.
