• reference point

• position

• motion

• displacement

An objects distance and direction from a reference point.

• position

• motion

• displacement

• velocity

process of changing position

• motion

• reference point

• position

• displacement

difference between the initial position and final position of an object

• displacement

• distance

• position

• motion

measure of the distance an object travels per unit of time
