Physics - 1.2 Displacement & Velocity

Graph the motion of an object that is moving at 1m/s.

The object starts at position 0 and time 0.

The X axis is time (s). The Y axis is distance (m)

Speed and Velocity are the same because both describe how fast an object is moving. They are different because Velocity also includes, ___.

• time

• distance

• direction

• rotation
