, VECTORS AND RESULTANT AVERAGE ACCELERATION
SCALARS VECTOR SPEED
A vector is a physical A single vector having The total distance The rate of change of
quantity with the same effect as two travelled per total time. velocity
magnitude and direction. or more vectors together
A scalar is a physical
quantity with
magnitude only.
DISTANCE DISPLACEMENT AVERAGE INSTANTANEOUS
VELOCITY VELOCITY
The total path length Difference in position in
travelled. (scalar) space. A vector The rate of change of The velocity at a
quantity that points position particular time
from the initial to
the final position.
