1-D Kinematics Review

What is distance?

• How far you are from your starting point

• The ground covered in a movement

• How far you travel overall

• The surface area covered in a movement

What is displacement?

• How much space there is between the starting and ending point

• How much ground is covered in a movement by an object

• How far an object travels

• How far an object is from its starting point

What is speed?

• Distance/time

• Displacement/time

• Time / Distance

• How far you are from the starting point / time
