It depends whether or not you are putting work on it, like if you were carrying something.

Differentiate distance and displacement?
Distance has no concept of direction and can be measured even if a person walks 2 miles in the shape of a triangle, he or she has still walked 2 miles. Displacement, however, it the distance measured between two particular points in a certain direction.
What is difference between distance and displacement?
Distance is a scalar quantity; it only gives you the value.Displacement is a vector quantity; it gives you the value and the direction.Example of distance - point A is 40m from point CExample of displacement - Point A is 40m from Point C, in a western direction.
Can an object be moving for ten seconds but still have zero displacement?
yes
A bouquet is thrown upwards does the bouquet's displacement and velocity change?
The bouquet goes from one place to another, from a state of being "still" to moving. It's displacement and velocity does change.
How do you convert distance to velocity?
They are incompatible and can't be converted from one another. In order to get a velocity you would also need the time spent to cover the distance. Then you can use the formula distance/time=velocity. For example if you travelled 120 miles in 3 hours, you've travelled at 40 mph. If you have covered 200 kilometers in 4 hours, you've travelled 50 kilometers per hour.
Explain how the displacement of an object could be zero while the distance traveled was 150 miles?
Displacement is only the distance from the starting point. As long as you return to where you started, then you can travel 1.0 x 10^999999999999 miles and still have a displacement of zero.
How do you convert displacement time graph into distance time graph?
Displacement is distance from starting point. If the object is always travelling in the same direction then they are the same. If the object turns round, the distance would still be increasing, however the displacement would be decreasing at the same rate.

What is the maximum distance a signal can travel and still be interpreted accurately is equal to a segments maximum length?
True
Can the distance traveled still be divided by the time taken to travel the distance if the speed accelerates to travel the distance?
The formula, distance = speed x time, or speed = distance / time, assumes constant speed. If the speed changes, then the formula speed = distance / time will give you the average speed over the time period. To get the instantaneous speed in this case, you must divide distance / time for a very short time interval.
Is the maximum distance a signal can travel equal to a segment's maximum length?
It is true. The book says "The maximum distance a signal can travel and still be interpreted accurately is equal to a segment's maximum length. Beyond this length, data loss is apt to occur."
Are scientists still trying to invent something that can go the speed of sound so that you can learn about sound travel?
no scientists already have made something this fast
Does forward tell when how much or where?
Yes, forward can only be defined with a destination. With your known location and the destination you will know how much to travel and in what direction. Sometimes the destination is defined as "no destination", however, this is still technically a destination that requires an infinite amount of distance. If the destination is where you are then forward will be a time spacial distance as you are constantly moving in time toward something.
What are the relatively still points on a standing wave called?
The points of minimal displacement are called "nodes." The points of maximal displacement are called "antinodes."
Can an object be moving for ten seconds but still have zero displacement?
yes
What does a complete venn diagram look like for velocity and speed?
You have 3 categories: speed, both, and velocity.under speed:is not a vectordescribes a rateunder both:describes how fast an object movesincludes timeincludes distance*under velocity:includes directionis a vector*Speed is actually DISTANCE over time, while velocity is DISPLACEMENT over time. Just clarifying, because it might cause more confusion although displacement is essentially still a measurement of distance but is still quite different.Edit: Also, the original answer was not written by me, I only edited where the asterix is indicated and I'm not sure how the original author's credit has disappeared.
