What is the difference between motion and displacement?
its pwet
Is there any example of motion where distance and displacement are same?
no
When can a body have same distance and same displacement?
Distance is equal to magnitude of displacement when the motion is in a straight line.
Is there any example for motion which will have same distance and displacement?
Sure. If the motion is all in a straight line, then the distance and displacement are equal. ==> The Olympic 100-meter sprint is in a straight line. Distance = Displacement = 100 meters. If the direction of motion ever changes, then the distance and displacement are not equal. (I think if the direction of motion ever changes, then the distance has to be greater than the displacement.) ==> In the Indianapolis 500, Distance = 500 miles, Displacement = Zero, because the Starting line and Finish line are in the same place, so the car finishes at the same place he started at.
The quantity that can be zero if a body remains in motion for sometime is?
Displacement
Is displacement apart of motion?
no
What is relation between displacement and time in projectile motion?
displacement is indirectionly propotional to time .
What is motion described to?
direction displacement and units
What is the difference between motion and displacement?

Is force required for displacement of an object?
No. Force is required for accelerated motion, but not for uniform motion.
How are distance and displacement the same?
when the motion is in a straight line.
Is there any example of motion where distance and displacement are same?
no
What is needed to describe motion?
direction displacement and units
What do displacement and acceleration have in common?
They are related to the motion of objects.
When can a body have same distance and same displacement?
Distance is equal to magnitude of displacement when the motion is in a straight line.
Is there any example for motion which will have same distance and displacement?

What does displacement divided by time equal?
Displacement divided by time will give you the motion of an object that has no unbalanced force acting on it
