Define the following: 1.1. Distance 1.2. Displacement 1.3. Speed 1.4. Velocity 1.5. Acceleration

here are the definitions for your classwork:

1.1. Distance:
Distance is the total length of the path covered by an object during its motion, regardless of direction. It is a scalar quantity.

1.2. Displacement:
Displacement is the shortest straight-line distance from an object's initial position to its final position, including the direction. It is a vector quantity.

1.3. Speed:
Speed is the rate at which an object covers distance. It is calculated as distance divided by time and is a scalar quantity.

$$\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$$

1.4. Velocity:
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes its displacement. It is calculated as displacement divided by time and includes both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.

$$\text{Velocity} = \frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Time}}$$

1.5. Acceleration:
Acceleration is the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. This change can be in magnitude (speed), direction, or both. It is a vector quantity.

$$\text{Acceleration} = \frac{\text{Change in Velocity}}{\text{Time}}$$
