What to Focus On
- Motion is always described with respect to a reference point (origin).
- Distance = total path length covered (scalar quantity).
- Displacement = shortest distance from initial to final position (vector quantity).
- Speed = Distance / Time (scalar — no direction needed).
- Velocity = Displacement / Time (vector — direction must be specified).
- Average speed = Total distance / Total time (used for non-uniform motion).
- Acceleration = Change in velocity / Time = (v − u) / t
- SI unit of acceleration is m/s² (m s⁻²).
- Acceleration is a vector quantity.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Distance and Displacement are the same thing — both just measure 'how far' an object has travelled.
Average velocity is always calculated as (initial velocity + final velocity) ÷ 2, in all situations.
An object moving with uniform speed can never be accelerating.
Memory Tips
Distance vs Displacement
Uniform vs Non-Uniform Motion
Speed Formula — Speed = Distance/Time
Velocity includes direction, Speed does not
