Speed & Velocity Assignment

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

• Distance is the total path traveled, while displacement is the shortest path between two points.

• Distance is always shorter than displacement.

• Displacement is the total path traveled, while distance is the shortest path between two points.

• Distance and displacement are always equal.

How is distance different from displacement?

• Distance is always shorter than displacement.

• Distance is the total length of the path taken, while displacement is the straight line between two points.

• Distance is measured in time, while displacement is measured in speed.

• Distance and displacement are the same.

How is speed defined in terms of distance and time?

• Speed is the time taken to travel a distance.

• Speed is the ratio of distance traveled to the amount of time taken.

• Speed is the distance traveled in a specific time.

• Speed is the time divided by distance.
