Consider the above graph of the horizontal velocity of a UFO over 30 s. The velocity peaks at 72.5 m/s after 14.5 s. Over the next 1.0 s, its velocity drops to -72.5 m/s.

Two sisters decide to measure how quickly their pet hamster can run. The sisters mark out a start and finish line and measure how long it takes the hamster to get from one to the other. The graph below shows the hamster's displacement from the start line as a function of time. At the end of the graph, what is the hamster's net displacement from his position at t = 0?
25m

Above are two velocity vs. time graphs that Stephen drew during physics lab. What could Stephen say about the two graphs when writing his report?
The graph on the left shows constant accleration, whereas the graph on the right shows changing acceleration.
What is the difference between distance and displacement?
Distance is a measurement of the total length of travel. Displacement is a measurement of the length from the starting point.
Scalar quantities describe only the magnitudes of measurements, whereas vector quantities describe the magnitudes and directions of measurements. I. acceleration II. force III. length IV. mass V. speed VI. velocity
III, IV and V only
How are scalar quantities different from vector quantities?
Scalar quantities only describe the magnitude of a measurement, whereas vector quantities describe both the magnitude and direction of a measurement.
