Distance:
Length of the road you traveled to get from Here to There, including
all the turns and curves.
Displacement:
Straight-line length between Here and There, regardless of how you
get there.
Displacement is also a vector quantity, meaning it not only has a length number,
but it also needs to include the straight-line directionfrom Here to There.
Displacement is the shortest distance between two points in a specific direction, while distance is the total length traveled regardless of direction.
Displacement is the shortest distance between the starting and ending points of an object's motion, while distance is the total length of the path traveled by the object.
Distance is the total length traveled by an object, while displacement is the shortest distance between the starting and ending points, taking into account direction.
No, displacement cannot be greater than distance. Displacement represents the straight-line distance between the initial and final positions of an object, while distance is the total length of the path traveled. Since displacement is the shortest distance between two points, it cannot be greater than the total distance traveled.
The ratio of distance to displacement is always equal to or greater than 1. This is because distance will always be equal to or greater than displacement, as distance is the total length of the path traveled while displacement is the difference between the final and initial positions.

Displacement is just distance traveled and a direction. For example 40m east is a displacement distance
Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final positions of an object, taking into account direction. Distance is the total length of the path traveled by the object, without considering direction.
No, the displacement cannot be longer than the distance traveled. Displacement is the shortest distance between the starting and ending points regardless of the path taken, while distance traveled is the total length of the actual path taken.
the displacement is either less or equal to the distance traveled
No, the displacement can never be greater than the distance traveled. Displacement is a vector representing the straight-line distance between the start and end points, while the distance traveled is the actual length of the path taken. Since displacement is a straight-line measure, it can never exceed the distance traveled along a path with turns and curves.
Distance is the total length of the path traveled, while displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end points. Friction does not directly affect distance or displacement, as it is a force that opposes motion. However, friction may impact the energy needed to overcome obstacles along the distance traveled or when calculating displacement.
Distance is how far you have traveled. For example, if you walk to school and back, you will have traveled twice the distance between the school and your home. Displacement is how far you have gone in your travels. For example, if you walk to school and back, your displacement is zero because you end up where you started.
