Position, Distance & Displacement in Physics - [1-2-1]

In this lesson, we will discuss the distance between position, distance, and displacement in physics. Position refers to the coordinates of the current position of the object. Distance refers to the total amount of meters traveled, counting forwards and backwards motion. Displacement refers to the distance traveled, however, only counting the initial and final position of the object. These are important topics in order to understand how velocity and acceleration are calculated in physics.

I am a PhD in economics n can definitely say prof.Jason is brilliant!

This is incredible! Sir you have a talent at explaining concepts! I am currently preparing for my MCAT and your video was perfect for someone who has no background in Physics! Just subscribed, looking forward to learn more with your content :)

Wow I really enjoyed this class, thanks so much sir watching from Nigeria

[adielecollins]

You have blown my mind with this very physics class. I so much enjoyed it. You are a genius in teaching sir 👍. Chineke gozie gi nke ukwuu (God bless you greatly)

Hello sir Jason, love the way you teach algebra I complete Alg course 2 completely and yet I feel like I am already mastered it all because of you could please also make an seperate section for complete Geometry? It will help me a lot!

[benedictarowojolualagwe]

Thank you so much!!! rlly loved the whole lecture!

Hi Prof. Jason. How can I find the sequence of this class? Thank you for the content, this is amazing.

Hi Jason. Will you be continuing the Algebra based Physics course or is this Calculus based Physics course the replacement? Oh and will you be adding a new Calculus course at some point in the future? Thanks by the way your courses are amazing.

I could not learn anything like this under Vietnamese communist government when I was young back then. Here in United State, I have so many chances to find excellent teachers, professors, who love their works of teaching. I am so grateful to find a professor like you. Thanks for teaching us.

I watching somalia 🇸🇴 Mogadishu I wonder how you explain vectors

[salomeyunana]

I don' t really understand how u are calculating the distance

[hemarajue]

In geometry, it could only be a shortest distance.
