This week's unit was all about kinematics, the study of motion. All around us, there is some kind of movement taking place--a car speeding past, a leaf falling from the tree outside, or a person (whom we'll call Kekela) jogging, as depicted in these pictures.Distance is the total path length of something. The distance of Kekela's running path is about 5 meters, 2.5 meters from her starting point to the door and 2.5 meters running back. The term displacement describes how far something goes in relation to its starting point. Therefore, Kekela's displacement would be 0 meters because she ended up at her initial position.

I thought your idea for the pictures was cool haha. I like the last one the best (: Also, your explanation of the pictures' relation to physics was good.
