Distance and displacement are both measures of speed
Distance and displacement are the same thing.
Distance is the change in position along a particular direction, while displacement is the actual distance covered by an object.
Distance is the total path length covered by an object, while displacement is the change in position along a particular direction. (correct)

Speed is the total displacement over time, while velocity is the ratio of total path length to elapsed time
Speed and velocity are the same thing.
Speed is the time rate of change of position, while velocity is the time rate of change of displacement. (correct)
Speed and velocity are both measures of acceleration.

Average speed is the total displacement over time, while average velocity is the ratio of total path length to elapsed time
Average speed and average velocity are both measures of acceleration.
Average speed and average velocity are the same thing.
Average speed is the ratio of total path length to elapsed time, while average velocity is the total displacement over time (correct)

One dimension refers to motion in a straight line or single direction.
Time, displacement, velocity, and acceleration are the four variables to evaluate motion.
Distance is the actual distance covered by an object, while displacement is the change in position along a particular direction.
Speed is the time rate of change of position, while velocity is the time rate of change of displacement.
Average speed is the ratio of total path length to elapsed time, while average velocity is the total displacement over time.
Instantaneous velocity is the average velocity at a specific point in time or across an infinitesimally brief time interval.
Uniform velocity occurs when equal changes of displacement take place in equal intervals of time.
Acceleration occurs when there is a change in speed, direction, or both.
Uniform or constant acceleration occurs when velocity changes by equal amounts in equal intervals of time.
Kinematics equations relate displacement, initial velocity, final velocity, time taken, and uniform acceleration in one-dimensional motion.
