No they are not the same thing
Distance is equal to magnitude of displacement when the motion is in a straight line.
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.
Motion that is always along the same straight line is referred to as rectilinear motion. This type of motion can be described using distance, displacement, velocity, and acceleration along a single axis.
When force is applied over a certain distance and motion is in the same direction as the force, work is done. Work is defined as the product of the force applied and the distance over which the force is exerted. This work results in the transfer of energy to the object being moved.
Yes, if an object moves along a straight path in a single direction without reversing its direction, then its distance and displacement will be the same.
No.
when the motion is in a straight line.
No.
Yes. It always is when the motion is all in a straight line.

A motion to adjudicate is the same thing as a request to be judged. This is just a fancy way of saying that.
Distance is equal to magnitude of displacement when the motion is in a straight line.
Yes. It is (force x distance) or (distance x force). Same thing.

it shows a distance
