The term that describes how far an object has traveled from its original location is **distance**.
- **Velocity** refers to the speed of an object in a given direction.
- **Displacement** is a vector quantity that refers to the change in position of an object and includes direction (it is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position).
- **Position** refers to the specific location of an object at a given time.
So, the correct answer is **distance**.
- **Velocity** refers to the speed of an object in a given direction.
- **Displacement** is a vector quantity that refers to the change in position of an object and includes direction (it is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position).
- **Position** refers to the specific location of an object at a given time.
So, the correct answer is **distance**.
