    Position, motion, distance, and displacement are key concepts in understanding motion. Position describes an object's location using a reference point for comparison. Motion involves a change in position over time. Distance depends on the path taken and can differ between two points, while displacement refers to how far out of place an object is from its starting position. The document provides exercises to distinguish that distance is how far an object has moved but can be zero, and depends on direction, while displacement is how far from the starting position and cannot be zero, depending on direction.

    PART A: Lesson Summary


    Position describes the location of an object .
    - A reference point is a location to which you can compare other locations.
    - Motion is a change in position over time.
    - Distance depends on the path you take.
    - Distance between two points can Differ
    - The standard units of length for measuring distance are the meter and the kilometer.
    - Difference between distance and displacement
    - Distance refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.
    - Displacement refers to "how far out of place an object is"

    Part B : Exercises.

    Distance:
    • Distance is how _______________ an object has moved.
    • Its value ______________ (can/ cannot) be zero.
    • It _____________________ (depends/ doesn’t depend) on direction.
    Displacement
    • Displacement is how ______________ an object has moved from its ___________
    position
    • Its value ______________ (can/ cannot) be zero.
    • It _____________________ (depends/ doesn’t depend) on direction

    Label the below pictures to show displacement and distance.
