referance point

• an object’s distance and direction from a reference point
• the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object
• the process of changing position
• the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position

position

• an object’s distance and direction from a reference point
• the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object
• the process of changing position

motion

• an object’s distance and direction from a reference point
• the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object
• the process of changing position
• the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position

displacement

• an object’s distance and direction from a reference point
• the starting point you choose to describe the location, or position, of an object
• the process of changing position
• the difference between the initial, or starting, position and the final position

force

• a push or a pull on one object by another object that is touching it
• contact force that resists the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching
• a force that one object applies to another object without touching it
• a push or a pull on an object
