It means that your trip is all in a straight line, and you never change directions while you travel, not even a little.
Not possible. The displacement could be equal to the distance traveled ... if the route of travel was a straight line ... or less than the distance traveled ... if the route of travel was wavy and wiggly. But you can never wind up farther from your starting point than the distance you travel.
That's true only if the entire travel from start to finish is in a straight line.
-- Distance is a scalar quantity, whereas displacement is a vector. -- Distance is the integral of magnitude of displacement. -- Magnitude of displacement is always less than or equal to distance. -- The two quantities are equal when the motion is in a straight line.

The water around floating object's is a measure of that object's "Displacement". For the object to float the weight of displacement must equal the object's weight. If the water around an object is of a greater weight than an object's displacement, then the object will sink.
displacement is equal to the distance you traveled when the object is moving at shortest path
The magnitude of displacement is equal to distance traveled when motion is in a straight line.
Displacement factor is equal to the power factor for linear loads with sinusoidal voltages and currents.pf = cos (angle1 - angle2)
Answer: The magnitude of displacement is equal to distance traveled when motion is in a straight line
Distance traveled is equal to the magnitude of the displacement vector when the motion is in a straight line.
-- Distance is a scalar quantity, whereas displacement is a vector. -- Distance is the integral of magnitude of displacement. -- Magnitude of displacement is always less than or equal to distance. -- The two quantities are equal when the motion is in a straight line.
Yes,the magnitude of both distance and displacement can be same provided the body continues to travel in a straight line and in the same direction. However you should remember that displacement is a vector quantity while distance is a scalar quantity so they both can be compared only by there magnitude.
