Question

multiple choice question
what is the difference between the initial (first) position and the final position of an object?

○ motion

○ displacement

○ velocity

○ vector

Explanation:

• Motion is the change in position over time, not the difference between initial and final positions.
• Displacement is defined as the difference between the initial (first) position and the final position of an object, including direction.
• Velocity is the rate of change of displacement over time (displacement per unit time).
• Vector is a quantity with both magnitude and direction; displacement is a vector, but the term "vector" is too general here.

Answer:

B. displacement
