Difference between :
Distance , acceleration, displacement, velocity and speed.
Distance , acceleration, displacement, velocity and speed.
Dear Student, 1) Distance is length of the path covered by a moving object. Its SI unit is meters.
2) Acceleration of a body is defined as the rate of change of its velocity with time.
i.e Acceleration = Change in velocity/Time taken for change
3) It is the shortest (straight line) distance between the initial and final position of a body. It’s a vector quantity having magnitude and direction both. The direction of the vector is from the initial position to final position. Its SI unit is meter(m)
4) The velocity v of a moving object is given by the ratio of distance d travelled in a given direction, i.e., the displacement with the time taken t.
5) Speed is the distance covered by the object in unit time.The S.I unit of speed is metre per second written as m/sec.It is a scalar quantity.
Speed=Distance/Time
Regards
