This is a topic we've discussed for quite a while and I think we hopefully landed on some firm definitions for three key terms:
Position, Displacement, and Distance
Position:
Position is where an object is at the end of a time period in relation to the starting point.
Displacement:
Displacement is the length of the space between the reference point and where an object is.
Distance:
Distance is the amount of space the object traveled all together.
So, that's that. I know, short post, but this is an important topic and short and sweet can be best sometimes. :)
Have a good day!
