a change in an object's position relative to a reference point is called what?

Question

science

Answer 1

displacement

Answer 2

It is usually called a translation. From the reference point,draw a straight line to any point on the object. Then extend the straight line as far as you like (say 4 inches). Repeat this for every point on the object, and you will have translated the entire object 4 inches further from the reference point.

You may also change an objects position relative to a reference point by rotation. From the reference point, use a compass to to rotate points on the object through the same angle. The result is that the entire object is rotated the same amount with respect to the reference point.

Answer 3

Well I am not sure what exactly your question is, but the closest answer I can come up with is "Relative Velocity"

"Relative velocity, the velocity with which a body
approaches or recedes from another body, whether both are
moving or only one."

Answer 4

displacement

Answer 5

displacement.
