What is the formula for distance when speed and time are known?

• Distance =

  Speed x Time

• Distance =

  Speed / Time

• Distance =

  Speed + Time

• Distance =

  Speed - Time

What is displacement?

• The rate of change of displacement

• The rate at which an object covers distance

• The total path length traveled

• The change in position, considering both distance from origin and direction

Which of the following are scalar quantities? Mark all that apply

• Force

• Acceleration

• mass

• speed

What is the formula for speed when distance and time are known?

• Speed =

  Distance / Time

• Speed =

  Distance x Time

• Speed =

  Distance - Time
