Rate of change of speed
————————————
Time taken
Displacement
The distance between two points in a specified direction
Speed
The rate at which distance changes with time
Velocity
Rate of change of displacement with time
Average speed
Total distance travelled divided by total time taken
Average velocity
Total displacement divided by total time taken 
Acceleration
Rate of change of velocity with time
Scalar
Physical quantity that has magnitude, but not direction
Vector
Physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction
