  • Reference point (origin) is essential to describe the position of any object
2

7.2 Distance and Displacement

  • Distance is the total path length covered by an object (scalar quantity)
  • Displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final positions (vector quantity)
  • Distance is always positive, displacement can be positive, negative, or zero
3

7.3 Speed and Velocity

  • Speed is the rate of change of distance (scalar quantity)
  • Velocity is the rate of change of displacement (vector quantity)
  • Average speed = Total distance / Total time
4

7.4 Acceleration

  • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity
  • Acceleration = (Final velocity - Initial velocity) / Time
  • SI unit: m/s²
