If you didnt listen to my last episode on Distance vs Displacement - give that one a listen for a little bit of context on how we talk about movement.
In the last episode we determined that there are two different ways to talk about how much an object moves - distance or displacement.
Distance is the total ground covered by an object and displacement is the difference between an objects FINAL and INITIAL position. These are going to be important definitions to keep in mind as we continue discussing movement.
Most importantly, we talked about DIRECTION. When stating a displacement, it is important to specify what direction that object was displaced in.
Now that we’ve got that refresher:
Let’s move on to two TYPES of measurements that you will see in physics.
