Tpesof Speed
Therr ar four tvpes of speed

(00) Average Speed The ratioof the total distance non-uni form
time taken is called average speed of the objec. travelled by the

Displacement
When a body moves from one position to another, the
shortest distanceie. stra
between the initial position and final position of the body
as displacement. It is a vector quantity directed from along with direction s
unit is metre. initial position to final poster
The magnitude of the displacement for a course of motion may
be zero when tN
correspornding distance covered is not zero.
Displacernent of the object can be positive, negative or zero.
