Pls what is the difference between displacement ,speed,distance and force
Answers
Answer:
Displacement and Velocity
Displacement is the vector difference between the ending and starting positions of an object. It may be very different from the distance the object has travelled along the way.
Velocity is the rate at which displacement changes with time. It is a vector, too.
The average velocity over some interval is the total displacement during that interval, divided by the time.
The instantaneous velocity at some moment in time is the velocity of the object right now!
Instantaneous velocity is the derivative of position with respect to time.
Speed is a scalar, which describes the total distance travelled by some object during some time interval. Speed is sometimes equal to the magnitude of a velocity vector, but not always.
Displacement is a shortest distance.
Speed is rate of acceleration.
Distance is actually path length covered.
A force is a pull or push on a body or object.
Displacement is a vector quantity.
Speed is a scalar quantity.
Distance is a scalar quantity.
Force is a vector quantity.
