G.10 Science: Physics Test Tomorrow

Navneet and Devin have both asked "what do the arrows over the d, v, and a represent?" These arrows define these concepts as vectors, as a result, these arrows are identifying these concepts as having direction. In addition, the arrow over the d means that we are referring to displacement rather than distance.

Distance - is your total distance travelled.

Displacement - is how far you have moved from your starting point.
