motion

Which is true?

• Speed is measured in m/s but velocity is measured in s/m

• Speed is a vector and velocity is a scalar

• Speed and velocity are the same exact thing

• Speed is like velocity but without a direction

What is a difference between distance and displacement

• Distance is measured in seconds and displacement is measured in meters

• Distance is always shorter than displacement

• Displacement can be equal to zero if the object ends in the place it began in

• Distance can be equal to infinite when only a small distance has been travelled
