Physics Kinematics: Motion in a Straight Line - Distance and Displacement

The video tutorial covers Module 1 of kinematics, focusing on motion in a straight line. It explains the concepts of scalar and vector quantities, specifically distance and displacement. Distance is defined as a scalar quantity measuring how far apart two points are, while displacement is a vector quantity indicating the change in an object's position. The tutorial uses examples to illustrate these concepts and highlights the differences between distance and displacement. It concludes with a sample question to reinforce understanding.
