Distance, Displacement, Speed and velocity

Question 1

What is distance

Answer 1

Distance is how far an object moves. Distance does not involve
direction.
Distance is a scalar quantity.

Question 2

What is displacement

Answer 2

• Vector quantity
• Measures the distance and direction in a straight line from an object’s starting point to its finishing point.

Example:If u walk 5m north then 5m south your displacement is 0m but distance is 10m

Question 3

What is speed and velocity

Answer 3

Measure of how fast your going but speed is scaler and velocity Vector

Question 4

Equation for distance travelled

Answer 4

Distance travelled(m)= Speed(m/s) x Time(s)

Question 5

Typical everyday speeds

im guessing you have to learn these

Answer 5

Walking=1.5m/s
Running=3m/s
Cyclying6m/s
Car=25m/s
Train=55m/s
Plane=250m/s

Question 6

Some formula about distance travelled

Answer 6

distance travelled = s peed × time
s = v t
distance, s, in metres, m
speed, v, in metres per second, m/s
time, t, in seconds, s
