What do you need to describe the position of object?
we need a fixed reference point to describe the position of a body
What describes the position of an object?
a reference point i just had that test a while ago!
Is the distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point?
This term is called displacement.
Does the displacement arrow depend on the choice of reference point?
Yes and no.Some use "displacement" only to describe a change in the position of an object from some initial starting point to some ending point. That is, there is a distinction between "position" and "displacement." The position would be defined relative to a reference point. In that case the arrow depends only on where the particle was and where it ended up and the reference point does not matter.Others use a definition for displacement which describes the difference between an object's position and a fixed reference point. That is, how far an object is displaced from a certain point even if the object had never been at that point. A distinction between position and displacement is not made. For this latter definition, the choice of reference point will make a difference in the direction of the arrow.In physics problems one usually only cares about the changes in position (and velocity, etc) and the choice of reference point will not affect these.
What does Initial Position?

Change in position of one object compared to the position of another?
The change in position of an object compared to a reference point(another object) is called motion.
State two characteristics of moving body?
1.There must be a reference point (stationary object ) to describe the position of the given body. 2. The position of the given body must continuously change with time and with respect to the reference point.
What is when an object changes its position over time relative to a static reference point?
the answer is motionAn angle.DisplacementMotion is a change in the position of an object in relation to a reference point.
Where an object is with regard to a reference point is what?
Its position, relative to the point of reference.
Numbers that describe the position of a point on a plane?
coordinates
When an object changes its position relative to a point?
motion
