position

the location of the centre of mass of an object, including direction (vector quantity)

2
New cards

distance

the total length of the path travelled (scalar quantity)

3
New cards

displacement

the change in position from inital position to final position; the straight line path from start to finish, including direction (vector)

4
New cards

speed

the total distance travelled divided by the total time (scalar)

5
New cards

velocity

displacement per unit of time; the time rate of change of position (vector)
