Replace the position of the object vs. "replace the object"?

Question

How should I write «*replace the position of the object*» or «*replace the object*» will be enough and the first variant is verbose? Thanks.

Answer 1

Those phrases don't mean the same thing. "Replace the position of the object" means to move it, although this is not the best way to say that, and "replace the object means" to switch it for a different one. Which are you trying to say?
