Answer:

Distance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point i.e the amount of distance covered by the physical object.

This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.

Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of acceleration, time, distance, speed, velocity, displacement, position, etc.

Hence, distance is the measured value (always positive) from one point to another.

Mathematically, distance is given by the formula;

Distance = speed * time

Also, the S.I unit for measuring the distance covered by a physical object is meters.
