24. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN DISTANCE & DISPLACEMENT : Vector quantity Scalar quantity SI unit : metre SI unit : metre The distance between two location measured along the shortest path connecting them in a specified direction The total path length travelled from one location to another DISPLACEMENT DISTANCE
25. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN speed & velocity : Average velocity = total displacement , s time, t Average speed = total distance travelled, s time, t Vector quantity Scalar quantity SI unit :ms -1 SI unit : ms -1 The rate of change of displacement The rate of change of distance VELOCITY SPEED
