1. Defining Motion Terms for analyzing motion
Position (p) – the location of an object relative to the origin on a coordinate system
The origin – where you set your zero position, where you start to measure from your meter stick
The position of an object is its distance and direction from the origin

2. Position Examples
Where is the object?

4. How far does it move?

5. Displacement
Displacement (∆p) – an object’s change in position from its initial position (pi) to its final position (pf)
How far and what direction the object is from its starting position
Equation: displacement = (final position) – (initial position)
Can be backwards, forwards, positive, or negative

6. How far is it from its starting point?
