Q

Define d, Δd, Δdt, t/Δt, a, v, s
and say if they are scalar or vector

A

d is the position. Vector
Δd is the displacement. Vector
Δdt is the total displacement. Vector
t/Δt is the time. Scalar
a is the acelleration. Vector
v is the velocity. Vector
s is the speed. Scalar

Q

distance vs displacement

A

displacement is a vector (gps)
does not count the middle steps

distance is scalar (step counter)
and counts the middle steps
