After traversing 1/2 of a circular track with radius 'R', the body has effectively moved from one end of a diameter to the other end of the same diameter. The distance traveled is 1/2 the circumference = (pi)D/2 = (pi)R. The displacement is D = 2R. The ratio of displacement to distance = (2R)/(piR) = 2/pi= 0.63662 (rounded), independent of 'R'.

double of the radius means equal to diameter
The distance around a circle is its circumference
Yes the distance around a circle is its circumference
The word for the distance around a circle is "circumference".
Sure. As one car goes around a circle and as it completes one full rotation, then distance covered by the car is the circumference of the circle. But the displacement is Zero. So distance but no displacement.
Displacement is a vector quantity while distance is a scalar quantity. so in case of displacement, it depends on final position. For example:- If a man walks on a circle, then if he completes one round then his displacement will be zero because the man is at same position as start position. But, his distance travelled will not be zero; it is equal to circumference of the circle.

Displacement is the straight-line distance between the starting and ending points. The displacement in the course of one complete revolution is zero.
distance = 1/2 circumference displacement = 2 r (special case because exactly half of the circle was travelled) circumference = 2*pi*r 1/2 circumference = 1/2*2*pi*r = pi * r
No. Displacement is how far an object is from its original position. This means that if an object traveled in a circle and returned to its original point, it will have a displacement of 0 while the distance will be whatever the circumference of the circle was. Hope that helps.

the distance is obtained by knowing the perimeter of the circle in question, this Canberra determined using the rule for circle circunfrence. As for the displacement it is the shortest distance between the starting pint of travel and ending. If for example the vehicle traveled around the whole circunfrence of a circle it will have a displacement of zero, as for it's distance it will be the length or circunfrence of the circle.
Yes distance will be equal or more than the magnitude of displacement. Distance cannot be less than the magnitude of displacement in any way. For example if a body goes around a circle completing one full round then distance covered will be the circumference ie 2pi r But displacement is zero. As the starting and stopping point are one and the same, the distance between initial and final is zero.

Distance is scalar. Displacement is a vector.
how far you go and displacement is going in a straight line
