Distance and Displacement Distance (scalar) - how much ground an object has covered during its motion. Displacement (vector) - how far out of place an object is; object's overall change in position.
Distance Distance (scalar) - how much ground an object has covered during its motion. A physics student walks 4 meters East, 2 meters South, 4 meters West, and finally 2 meters North. What distance was covered?
mph km m s s
Average vs. Instantaneous Speed Instantaneous Speed - the speed at any given instant in time Average Speed - the average of all instantaneous speeds; found simply by a distance/time ratio.

Displacement Displacement (vector) - how far out of place an object is; object's overall change in position. How much is the skier displaced during these three minutes? What distance did he travel?

Velocity vs. time - slope The velocity-time data and graph would look like the graph below. Note that the line on the graph is horizontal. That is the slope of the line is 0 m/s/s. In this case, it is obvious that the slope of the line (0 m/s/s) is the same as the acceleration (0 m/s/s) of the car.
True or False: When acceleration is 0 m/s/s, an object never moves.

Acceleration 1. Which car or cars (red, green, and/or blue) are undergoing an acceleration? Study each car individually in order to determine the answer. 2. Which car (red, green, or blue) experiences the greatest acceleration? 3. Consider the position-time graph at the right. Each one of the three lines on the position-time graph corresponds to the motion of one of the three cars. Match the appropriate line to the particular color of car.
