Motion Measurements
Explain the difference between Acceleration, Velocity, and Displacement as measurements.
Expand Hint
The SI unit for displacement is meter (
$$m$$
).
The SI unit for velocity is meter per second (
$$m/s$$
).
The SI unit for acceleration is meter per squared second (
$$m/s^2$$
).
Acceleration
– a vector that shows direction and magnitude of changes in velocity
Displacement
– a vector that shows an initial position of an object to its final position
Velocity
– a vector that shows direction and rate of motion
The equations of motion describe the relationships between these three concepts extremely well.
