What is the difference between displacement and velocity? What does each measure?
Displacement is the difference in final and initial positions. It is a vector directed from the initial position to the final position in space.
Velocity is the time rate of change of displacement. It is a vector as well.

Displacement is the change in position of an object and is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time. It is also a vector quantity and includes both speed (magnitude of velocity) and direction. Displacement measures the overall change in position, while velocity measures how fast and in which direction that change occurs.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.

- A projectile is shot from the ground at a velocity of #32 m/s# and at an angle of #(3pi)/4#. How long will it take for the projectile to land?
- How is acceleration related to force?
- An object has a mass of #2 kg#. The object's kinetic energy uniformly changes from #18 KJ# to # 54KJ# over #t in [0,12s]#. What is the average speed of the object?
- An archer shoots an arrow with an initial velocity of 21 m/s straight up from his bow. He quickly reloads and shoots another arrow the same way 3 s later. At what time and height do the arrows meet?
- What is the average speed, on #t in [0,5]#, of an object that is moving at #8 m/s# at #t=0# and accelerates at a rate of #a(t) =5t^2-2t# on #t in [0,3]#?
