Displacement is a word that describes how much distance an object travels through in a given amount of time.
If a person drives a car at 50 miles an hour for one hour, the displacement will be 50 miles.

Is there any example of motion where distance and displacement are same?
no
What is the rate of motion at any given moment?
The instantaneous speed is the rate of motion at any given time.
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.
Where is the antinode of a standing wave?
Its the point of maximun displacement at any given moment
What is the difference between motion and displacement?

no
Can there be displament of object in the absence of any force acting on it?
Yes, if it is already in motion it will stay in motion ... displacement.
When an object is in motion how can the average velocity be calculated?
it can be calculated at a particular instant as it is total displacement in given time
What is the rate of motion at any given moment?
The instantaneous speed is the rate of motion at any given time.
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

How can you obtain the average velocity and instantaneous velocity from a displacement -time graph?
You cannot because a displacement-time graph is concerned only with radial motion: displacement from a fixed point of reference. Any transverse motion is completely ignored. Thus, if you had a body going around in a circle about the point of reference, its speed would be recorded zero!
