1D Motion

Scalar Quantities are Distance and Speed

Vector Quantities are Displacement and Velocity

Definitions

Distance (d) - “how far” - meters - Total Path

Displacement (Triangle and x) - straight line start to finish - Change in position - meters - has a direction associated with it

Time (t) - how long - seconds

Speed (s) = distance/ time - m/s

Velocity (v) = displacement/time - m/s - includes a direction
