When a body is thrown vertically to reach a height h before returning to Earth what is the distance traveled and the displacement?

The distance travelled is 2h (it went up 'h' and came down 'h', having travelled 'h' distance twice), and the displacement is 0 (assuming it landed where it took off from).

Is the displacement of a body same as the actual distance traveled by the body?
yes of course..
How does distance differ displacement?
Distance is the total length travelled where as displacement is the length between where you started and where you are now. example.. If you travel in a circular path, around the whole circle and wind up back where you started. Your displacement will be zero but your distance travelled will be the circumference of the circle.
Give one type o f motion where distance and displacement are sane?
Linear motion -- motion and force occurring along a straight line. Otherwise, for example, when an object travels in a circular motion and returns to the starting point, the distance traveled = 2*pi*radius, but the displacement = 0. ==================================
What is average velocity?
Average velocity is def.ined as the ratio of total displacement to total time taken.
How do you calculate RF Value?
The Rf value is the "ratio to the front." Hence the R and the f. It is defined as the ration of the distance traveled by a spot (measured from the center) to the distance traveled by the solvent.
What does it mean about your displacement is equal to the distance you traveled?
displacement is equal to the distance you traveled when the object is moving at shortest path
When does distance traveled equal the magnitude of displacement vector?
Distance traveled is equal to the magnitude of the displacement vector when the motion is in a straight line.
What is the relationship between displacement and direction?
Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance
If you ride your bike around the block returning to the exact point where you started what is your displacement?
Well, if you traveled a distance of, lets say, one million miles, then your displacement would be zero. That is the difference between distance and displacement. Distance is the total area of which you have moved, commonly expressed by using miles or kilometers. While displacement is the DISTANCE between your starting point and end point.
Which word most likely means a measure of distance traveled?
Displacement means a measure of distance traveled.
Is the magnitude of displacement greater than or equal to the magnitude of the distance traveled?
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.
Can the magnitude of a displacement be greter than the distance traveled?
No.
Under what condition the distance and displacement are equal?
The magnitude of displacement is equal to distance traveled when motion is in a straight line.
Suppose that an object travels from one point in space to another Make a comparison between the displacement and the distance traveled?
the displacement is either less or equal to the distance traveled
Does displacement always equal distance traveled?
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.
What conditions the distance and displacement between two points will be equal?
Answer: The magnitude of displacement is equal to distance traveled when motion is in a straight line
What is the different distance and displacement?
Displacement is a vector quanity that measures the difference between final position and initial position. Distance is a scalar quanity the measures the total length traveled. For example, imagine you begin stationary at any location and walk along the outline of a 100ft circumference circle, returning you to your starting location. Your distance traveled will be 100 feet, your displacement will be 0 due to your initial position and final position being identical.
