Speed and velocity

Distance is the total path traveled, while displacement is the straight line from start to end.

Distance is always shorter than displacement.

Displacement is the total path traveled, while distance is the straight line from start to end.

Distance and displacement always have the same value.

15.0 km/hr

50.0 km/hr

150 km/hr

450 km/hr

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time without considering direction, velocity includes direction.

Speed is the change in direction of an object over time, velocity is the distance an object travels over time.

Speed is the total time taken for an object to travel a specific distance, velocity is how fast an object speeds up.

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time with a specific direction, velocity does not include direction.

The total length of the path taken from point A to point B

The length of a straight line between two points

The time taken to travel between two points

The speed at which an object moves
