Topic 1
Distance and speed are scalar; displacement and velocity depend on direction.
Topic 2
Acceleration is change in velocity per unit time.
Topic 3
The slope of a graph tells the rate of change.

Topic list
Topic 1
Distance is the actual path length travelled, while displacement is the shortest directed change in position. Speed uses distance per time, while velocity uses displacement per time with direction.
Topic 2
Acceleration measures how quickly velocity changes. The equations of motion connect initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, time, and displacement for uniformly accelerated motion.
Topic 3
Motion graphs convert movement into visual form. Distance-time graphs show how far an object moves, while velocity-time graphs show how velocity changes and can reveal acceleration or displacement.
