SUVAT and motion graphs

How is displacement defined differently from distance?

A
  • Displacement is the total length of path travelled (scalar).
  • Distance is change in position in a specific direction (vector).
B
  • Displacement is the total length of path travelled (vector).
  • Distance is change in position in a specific direction (scalar).
C
  • Displacement is change in position in a specific direction (vector).
  • Distance is the total length of path travelled (scalar).
D
  • Displacement is change in speed in a specific direction (vector).
  • Distance is the total time spent travelling (scalar).
