Vectors
Quantities that have both magnitude and direction.
Scalars
Quantities that have only magnitude.
Displacement
The straight-line distance between an object's initial and final point.
Change in Position
The difference in an object's location from its initial to final point.
Distance Traveled
The total length of the path an object moves, always greater than or equal to the magnitude of displacement.
Average Speed
The total distance traveled divided by the time duration of that travel.
Average Speed Formula
Average speed = distance/time.
Average Velocity
The change in position (displacement) divided by the change in time.
Instantaneous Velocity
The velocity of an object when the time interval is very small.
Average Acceleration
The change in velocity divided by the change in time.
Instantaneous Acceleration
The acceleration of an object when the time interval is very small.
Acceleration due to Gravity
The acceleration of an object under the influence of gravity, approximately 9.81 m/s² downward.
