distance
scalar quantity that refers to how much ground an object has covered during its motion
7
New cards
displacement
vector quantity that refers to how far your ending point is from your starting point
8
New cards
0 displacement
back to starting point

New cards
distance vs. displacement
distance > displacement
distance = displacement
distance cannot be < displacement
distance = displacement
distance cannot be < displacement
