Blog Post #2

Hey, so I'm doing another blog post, this time on kinematics.  Kinematics is defined in a nutshell, the study of motion.  It basically talks about speed and velocity, to distance and displacement.  The picture I took outside in the Costco's parking lot, is of cars in motion, averaging the parking lot speed of about 15 mi/h.  They are using a term known as displacement which is the amount of distance covered from the starting point.  They actually traveled, from their house, a total of 0 miles.  This is because the starting point was from their house, they went to Costco's, then ended up back at their house.  Now, if we were measuring distance, the amount of miles traveled would be added and totaled up.  Of course, the distance traveled depends on their starting point, which was home.  So, to summarize, distance is the total amount of miles traveled, and displacement is the distance traveled from the starting point.
