1. Displacement: This is the change in position of an object. It's not just the distance traveled, but also the direction. Think of it like a straight line from the starting point to the ending point.
2. Time: This is the duration over which the displacement occurred.
3. Direction: This is the specific path or orientation the object took during its displacement.
Here's how they come together:
Velocity is calculated by dividing the displacement by the time taken. It's a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.
Example:
* You walk 10 meters east (displacement) in 5 seconds (time).
* Your velocity is 10 meters/5 seconds = 2 meters per second east.
