It is called "displacement" - the net change in distance and position.
What is called a change in position in an object?

What is an object's overall change in position called?
Displacement is the overall change in position
What is the rate of motion in an object's position called?
Velocity
Energy of position is called what?
Potential Energy- is the energy inside an object because of the position
What object looks as if the position has shifted when it is viewed from different locations this is referred to as?
It is called parallax and is often used for calculating the distance to stars and other distant objects which can't be measured directly.
What is energy base on an object's position called?
potential energy
What is an object's change in position over time called?
movement
