What is the difference between displacement and distance?
Distance - how far an object has travelled (total path length)
Displacement - how far an object is from the first position
An object moves at a constant speed of 5m/s. This means that the object: AAAA. Increases speed 5m/s every second. BBBB. Decreases its speed by 5m/s every second. CCCC. has a positive acceleration. DDDDD. moves 5 meters every second
D. Moves 5 meters every second
