What is the definition of distance?

• A vector quantity

• The shortest path between two points

• The total path covered by an object

• A scalar quantity

What does displacement measure?

• The time taken for motion

• The speed of an object

• The change in position of an object

• The total distance traveled

Which of the following is a scalar quantity?

• Velocity

• Displacement

• Acceleration

• Distance

What is the formula for average speed?

• Distance - Time

• Distance + Time

• Time / Distance

• Distance / Time

What does average speed indicate?

• The total time taken

• The rate of change of position

• The speed at a specific moment

• The total distance covered

Which of the following describes a vector quantity?

• It cannot be negative

• It has magnitude only

• It has both magnitude and direction

• It is always positive

What is the primary difference between distance and displacement?

• Both are the same

• Distance is a scalar, displacement is a vector

• Distance is a vector, displacement is a scalar

• Distance measures time, displacement measures space
