Position

• a specific point in space

• the amount of space between one point and another

• the change in position of an object

• the point or place where something begins

Distance

• the amount of space between one point and another

• a specific point in space

• the change in position of an object

• the point or place where something begins

speed

• distance traveled per unit of time

• a change in the position of an object compared to another object (related term: move, movement)

• measured period during which something occurs

• a change in the velocity (speed, direction, or both) of a body (related word: accelerate)

motion

• a change in the position of an object compared to another object (related term: move, movement)

• a pull or push that is applied to an object

How can you tell if an object is in motion?

• the object will look different

• I'll be able to see the forces

• It will remain in the same position

• Its position will change in relation to other objects

Distance divided by time is how you find

• speed

• velocity

• displacement

• motion
