| A | B |
| distance | how far the object has travelled |
| displacement | final position minus the initial position |
| vector | has magnitude and direction |
| scalar | has magnitude only |
| speed | distance travelled in a unit of time |
| velocity | distance per unit of time in a given direction |
| average velocity | total distance travelled per total time interval |
| instantaneous velocity | speed and direction of an object at a particular point |
| time interval | final time minus initial time |
| resultant | sum of two or more vectors |
| magnitude | size of a scalar or vector |
