Distance is a function of displacement. You need to define the origininal position and the present position. The difference between them is the displacement, the distance is the measure (using accepted units) of the difference between the two.
Certainly.
Walk once around a circle with diameter 'D'.
The distance you travel is [ pi x D ].
Your displacement is zero ... you finish where you started.
Distance is greater , because displacement can be zero ,but, distance cannot be zero.
yes,displacement is the shortest distance covered by a body,so distance covered by a body may be greater than the displacement.
"Distance" covered is always greater than the magnitude of the displacement,unless the motion is in a straight line. In that case, distance and displacementare equal. Distance is never less than displacement.
"Distance" covered is always greater than the magnitude of the displacement,unless the motion is in a straight line. In that case, distance and displacementare equal. Distance is never less than displacement.
There's no firm relationship between the magnitudes of distance and displacement, except that displacement can never be greater than distance. So if you're looking for a ratio, I guess (distance)/(displacement) = or > 1

Displacement can be equal to distance traveled or less, depending on the shape of the route, but it can never be greater than the distance traveled.
No. Distance can be greater than displacement, but not less. The magnitude of the displacement between two points is also the minimum possible distance of a path between the same points.However, the displacement can be zero if the distance is not if the object's starting point and ending point are the same.
Displacement and distance travelled are synonymous, so my inference would be no, it can't.
its magnitude is greater thatn the distance travelled by the object
Yes it is. Good work.
No.
