        Equally interesting fact: Congress works at negative that same speed.

        But speed is a scalar quantity and carries a magnitude, without vector.

        Speed is distance/time. Distance has a vector

        Displacement is a vector, not distance. Velocity vs Speed

        Right. How does displacement relate to distance?

        Replying to @AndyShmandy42 @Hermalez and

        Distance considers all the ground covered by an object. Displacement just checks the overall change in position. Distance covers from A to B to C, while Displacement onl considers the resultant difference between A and C.

        Yeah but how many years has it been since 9/11, Einstein?

        I’m sure this reads like 9 divided by 11, multiplied by Einstein to a physicist.
