    Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to the total length of the path traveled, while displacement is a vector quantity referring to the straight line distance between the initial and final positions. Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the time taken, and is a scalar quantity. Velocity refers to speed in a particular direction and is a vector quantity. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

    Average Speed
    The average speed of the car during the journey is the
    total distance travelled, divided by the time taken for the
    journey.

    “The rate of change of distance travelled”


    Average speed (v)+= Distance moved (s)
    Time taken (t)

    # Scalar quantity S
    # Unit => ms-1 v t
    The speed of the car changes from instant to instant as the
    accelerator or brake is used. The speedometer therefore shows the
    instantaneous speed of the car.
    Average Speed
    what is velocity?
    Velocity is speed in a particular
    direction.
    “The rate of change of displacement”

    Velocity is 50 m/s to left

    Acceleration

    Acceleration is the rate of change of velocities.


    Acceleration = change in velocity
    time taken
    Acceleration = final velocity (v) –initial velocity (u)
