What to Focus On

  • Position is described using a reference point, distance, and direction.
  • Motion means change in position with time.
  • Rest means no change in position with time.

  • Distance is the total path length.
  • Displacement is the net change in position.
  • Displacement has direction; distance does not.

  • Scalars need only magnitude.
  • Vectors need magnitude and direction.
  • Distance and speed are scalars.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Distance travelled and displacement are always the same.

If displacement is zero, the object has not moved at all.

Average speed and average velocity are the same quantity.

Memory Tips

Position, motion, and rest

Instant of time and time interval

Distance and displacement

Scalar and vector quantities
