Time = 4 sec

Average speed = 16/4

Average speed = 4m/s

Difference between Distance and displacement

DISTANCE:-

The total path covered upon total time taken is called as distance. It can neither be negative or zero. It has no direction it is only magnitude. So, distance is a scalar quantity.

-------------------------------------------------

DISPLACEMENT:- The shortest path covered divided by total time taken is referred to as displacement. It can be positive negative and zero also. It has both magnitude and direction. So, is a vector quantity.
