Chapter 2 Quiz

Here is your chance to apply what you've learned in this chapter. Distance and displacement are different. Distance is scaler and displacement is vector. You should know how to calculate average velocity. You should be familiar with position- and velocity-time graphs. Velocity can be calculated from a position-time graph.
