What to Focus On
- Distance is the total path length and is a scalar.
- Displacement is the change in position and is a vector.
- Displacement can be positive, negative, or zero.
- Speed is scalar; velocity is vector.
- Average velocity = displacement / time.
- Average speed = total distance / time.
- Relative velocity = velocity of object minus velocity of reference.
- Used to simplify motion problems involving multiple bodies.
- If objects move in opposite directions, relative velocity increases.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Distance and displacement are the same thing.
Average speed and average velocity are always equal in magnitude.
If velocity is zero, acceleration must also be zero.
Memory Tips
