This document provides an overview of linear motion concepts including distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration, and equations related to uniform velocity and uniform acceleration. Key points include:
- Distance is a scalar quantity measuring the total length traveled, while displacement is a vector measuring the shortest distance from a reference point.
- Speed is the rate of change of distance over time and velocity is the rate of change of displacement over time, with velocity being a vector quantity that includes direction.
- Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time and measures how velocity changes. It is a vector quantity.
- Equations are provided to calculate speed, velocity, and acceleration for objects experiencing uniform velocity or uniform acceleration based on measurements
