| Vector | is a physical quantity that describes something’s magnitude (size) and direction |
| Scalar | is a physical quantity that describes something’s magnitude (size) |
| Displacement, d, | indicates how far an object ends up from its initial position, regardless of its total distance traveled |
| Average velocity, v ̄ | is displacement divided by the time interval over which that displacement occurred |
| Instantaneous velocity, v | is how fast an object is moving at a specific moment in time |
| Average Speed | is total distance divided by time duration |
