30s - Q3
When observing an object's linear motion, what key aspect distinguishes velocity from speed?
Speed includes acceleration, while velocity does not.
Velocity is independent of displacement, unlike speed.
Speed involves the shortest path, unlike velocity.
Velocity specifies direction while speed does not.
30s - Q4
What is the difference between distance and displacement?
Displacement calculates the entire path traveled, distance is the shortest route from start to finish.
Distance tells us how long it is going to take us to get to the end point, displacement explains speed and direction.
Distance calculates the entire path traveled, displacement is the shortest route from starting point to finish.
Displacement tells us how far away something is, distance tells us how close it is.
