Match the following terms with their correct definitions and hashtags/memory tricks: 1. Distance 2. Acceleration 3. Velocity 4. Instantaneous Speed 5. Displacement 6. Average Speed

• 1. Distance - Total length of path traveled - Km, m, miles

• 4. Instantaneous Speed - Speed of an object at a specific instant - #speedometer

• 2. Acceleration - Change in velocity with respect to time - m/s^2

• 3. Velocity - Speed with direction, #35 miles per hour to the north - 10mph North

• 5. Displacement - Change in position of an object, regardless of the path taken - Displacement vs Distance diagram

The main difference between speed and velocity is that speed is a scalar quantity, while velocity is a vector quantity. An example of speed is a car traveling at 60 mph, and an example of velocity is a car traveling at 60 mph north.
