What to Focus On

  • Scalar quantities have magnitude only.
  • Vector quantities have magnitude and direction.
  • Negative sign for a vector means opposite direction.

  • Rest means no change of position relative to immediate surroundings.
  • Motion means change of position relative to immediate surroundings.
  • Straight-line motion is one dimensional motion.

  • Distance is total path length.
  • Distance depends on the path.
  • Displacement is shortest straight-line distance with direction.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Distance and displacement are the same thing.

Displacement can be greater than distance.

Speed and velocity are the same, so direction does not matter.

Memory Tips

Scalar quantities

Vector quantities

Distance versus displacement

Distance always positive, displacement can be positive, negative, or zero
