Document Summary

Distance is a scalar while displacement is a vector. Distance is measured as the travel path, displacement is a straight line from a to b. Displacement can be negative but distance cannot. Speed is distance over time (ie scalar) Velocity is displacement over time (ie vector: can be negative. Change in velocity over time, therefore is a vector. Increase/decrease in velocity in the positive direction is pretty self-explanatory. Increase/decrease in velocity in the negative direction is negative/positive (makes sense as well) Acceleration can be negative (ie deceleration or acceleration in the negative direction) By looking at a displacement vs time graph: numerical estimation. A simple finite difference is a simple change in displacement over change in time.
