Distance is a numerical description of how far apart objects are.

In physics or everyday usage, distance may refer to a physical length, or an

estimation based on other criteria (e.g. "two counties over").
In mathematics, a distance function ormetric is a generalization of the
concept of physical distance. A metric is a function that behaves according
to a specific set of rules, and is a concrete way of describing what it means
for elements of some space to be "close to" or "far away from" each other.
In most cases, "distance from A to B" is interchangeable with "distance
between B and A".
A displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the
final position of a point P.[1] Thus, it is the length of an imaginary straight
path, typically distinct from the path actually travelled by P. A displacement
vector represents the length and direction of this imaginary straight path.
A position vector expresses the position of a point P in space in terms of a
displacement from an arbitrary reference point O (typically the origin of a
coordinate system). Namely, it indicates both the distance and direction of
an imaginary motion along a straight line from the reference position to the
actual position of the point.

In everyday use and in kinematics, the speed of an object is

the magnitude of its velocity (the rate of change of its position); it is thus
a scalar quantity.[1] Theaverage speed of an object in an interval of time is
the distance travelled by the object divided by the duration of the interval;
[2]

the instantaneous speed is the limit of the average speed as the duration

of the time interval approaches zero.

Like velocity, speed has the dimensions of a length divided by a time;
the SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most usual unit of

speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the
UK, miles per hour. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.
Velocity is the rate of change of the displacement, the difference between
the final and initial position of an object. Velocity is equivalent to a
specification of its speed and direction of motion, e.g. 60 km/h to the north.
Velocity is an important concept in kinematics, the branch of classical
mechanics which describes the motion of bodies.
Instantaneous speed
By looking at a speedometer, one can read the speed of a car at any
instant, or its instantaneous speed.[3] A car travelling at 50 km/h generally
goes for less than one hour at a constant speed, but if it did go at that
speed for a full hour, it would travel 50 km. If the vehicle continued at that
speed for half an hour, it would cover half that distance (25 km). If it
continued for only one minute, it would cover about 833 m.
Acceleration, in physics, is the rate of change of velocity of an object. An
object's acceleration is the net result of any and all forces acting on the
object, as described by Newton's Second Law.[1] The SI unit for acceleration
is themetre per second squared (m/s2). Accelerations are vector quantities
(they have magnitude and direction) and add according to
the parallelogram law.[2][3] As a vector, the calculated net force is equal to
the product of the object's mass (a scalar quantity) and the acceleration.
