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 a scalar quantity but velocity is a vector quantity
What is a difference between distance and displacement
Distance is measured in seconds and displacement is measured in metres
Distance is always shorter than displacement
Distance is a measure of magnitude and displacement is a measure of magnitude and direction
Distance is a vector quantity but displacement is a scalar quantity
