Answer:

Distance- The length along a path between two points .

Velocity- The rate and direction at which an object moves .

Displacement- The net change in position of an object .

Vector- A measurement that has both magnitude and direction .

Speed- Measure of the rate at which an object changes position .

Momentum- The mass of an object multiplied by its velocity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Vector: A physical quantity having both magnitude and direction is called Vector quantity. Example: Displacement, Velocity, Acceleration, Force etc.

On the other hand , quantity having only magnitude is called Scalar. Example: Distance, Speed, Time, Current etc.

Distance: The totle length of path traversed by a body in certain time is called distance. It is scalar quantity as it has only magnitude. SI unit of distance is meter.

Displacement: It is defined as change in position of a body in given period of time. Actually it is the distance between initial and final position along with given direction. So it is vector quantity. SI unit is meter.

Speed: The rate at which distance is traveled with respect to time is called speed.It is scalar quantity. SI unit is meter/second.


Speed=(Distance)/(Time)

Velocity: It can be defined as rate of change in position or displacement with respect to time.It is vector quantity. SI unit is meter/second.


Velocity=(Displacement)/(Time)

Momentum: The amount of motion contain in a body is the momentum. It is defined as product of mass and velocity. It is vector quantity. SI unit is kg.meter/second

Momentum=Mass×Velocity
