A change in the position of an object is called a displacement. Velocity is the measure of the rate of change of displacement with respect to time.

What is the displacement of person who leaves her porch to walk of 1 mile and then returns in thirty minutes?
the displacement is zero because even though she moved she went back to the same place so there is no distance between the beginning point of her walk and the end point of her walk. 0 displacement
A position describes an objects location compared to?
A reference point.
What is the starting point for the digestive system and the secondary starting point for the inhailing and exhailing?
The mouth is the starting point of the digestive system. When we chew our salivary glands release the enzyme amylase to start breaking down simple sugars.
Starting point of a vector?
(0,0,0,0)
What is the starting point of the in inquiry process?
A question.
A measure of how far an object has moved from the starting point?
Distance
What is the starting point of the distance of direction of an objects change in position?
I believe your asking for the term reffering to an objects change in position from its starting point. That term is displacement.
What is a length and direction that an object has moved from its starting point?
Displacement?
The length and direction of a straight line from the starting point to the ending point of an objects motion is?
displacement
If the measure of a length is in centimeters and is to be converted to hectometer by how many decimal places should the decimal point be moved?
It should be moved 4 places.
Look at the metric ruler pictured Assuming that 0 is visible on the measure and is also the starting pointwhat is the distance to point D?
Look at the metric ruler pictured. Assuming that 0 is visible on the measure and is also the starting point, what is the distance to point D?
How are Kelvin and Celsius scale related?
both measure temperature and are based on a starting point and all have a common point(0)
How do you measure the distance between two heavenly bodies?
Let's say we want to measure the distance between objects A and B. First, we measure the distance from the Earth(point E) to these objects(using Doppler-shifts).Then, we measure the angle AEB.We now know the lengths of two sides, and the angle between them. That's how we find the distance AB.
Is the Greenwich meridian line a line of longitude?
Yes it is. It is the starting point to measure degrees East or West.
When machining rotors what is the reason for setting the indexing collars to zero?
So you have a starting point to measure by.
How does the distance moved by an object between its starting point and ending point compare to the displacement vector between the same points?
grravity or some other force moves it
What is a way to measure ground distance on a map?
Measure they key, typically found near one of the corners. And then measure it and see how many kilometers/miles it is then measure the distance from your starting point to finishing point and compare it to the key
