034/**
035 * In kinematics, absement (or absition) is a measure of sustained displacement of 
036 * an object from its initial position, i.e. a measure of how far away and for how long. 
037 * Absement changes as an object remains displaced and stays constant as the object resides 
038 * at the initial position. 
039 * The system unit for this quantity is "m.s" (metre second).
