The symbols commonly used to represent distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration are as follows:
Distance: The total path traveled by an object. It is a scalar quantity. Symbol: d or s
Displacement: The change in position of an object in a specific direction. It considers both the magnitude and direction. Symbol: Δx or Δs
Speed: The rate at which an object covers a certain distance. It is a scalar quantity and does not consider direction. Symbol: v or s
Velocity: The rate at which an object changes its position in a specific direction. It considers both the magnitude and direction. Symbol: v or u (initial velocity), v or v̄ (average velocity), v or v' (final velocity)
Acceleration: The rate at which an object changes its velocity. It represents the change in velocity per unit time. Symbol: a
It's worth noting that the symbols used for these quantities may vary depending on the specific context or notation conventions used in different textbooks or scientific disciplines. The symbols mentioned above are commonly used representations.
