What will be the distance and displacement of the body when it completes half a revolution if a body is moving along a circular path of radius R?
The distance traveled by the body when it completes half a revolution along a circular path of radius R is equal to the circumference of half the circle, which is πR. The displacement of the body would be zero as it returns to the same starting point after completing half a revolution.
If you circle a winding road up a mountain your displacement is the same as your distance?
No, in a circular path, your displacement is zero because you return to your starting point. However, the distance you traveled around the circle would be the circumference of the circle.
How can displacement be less than the distance traveled?
Of course. If you run around a circular track one time and stop when you reach thestarting line, then the distance traveled is the circumference of the track, but thedisplacement is zero.Displacement can be anything between zero and the distance, but it can never bemore than the distance.
Can the displacement be longer than the distance traveled?
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.
Is displacement and distance traveled the same measurement?
No, displacement and distance traveled are two different measurements. Distance traveled is the total length of the path taken, while displacement is the change in position from the starting point to the ending point, taking into account direction.

Does distance traveled by an orbiting spacecraft is circumference or area?
It is circumference, for a circular orbit

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. ==================================
Can the displacement be longer than the distance traveled?
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.
What is the out and back distance for a one-way trip?
The out and back distance for a one-way trip is the total distance traveled from the starting point to the destination and back to the starting point.
Is displacement and distance traveled the same measurement?
No, displacement and distance traveled are two different measurements. Distance traveled is the total length of the path taken, while displacement is the change in position from the starting point to the ending point, taking into account direction.
Give an example where displacement is zero but distance is not?
when the body moves circularly from a point 'A' to a then the displacement will be zero(displacement is the shortest diatance from the initial point to final point) and the distance will not be zero.
What does the out and back trail distance entail?
The out and back trail distance refers to the total distance traveled when hiking or running along a trail from the starting point to the end point and then back to the starting point.
What is the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled without identifying the direction traveled?
Speed describes the distance traveled by an object divided by the time in which the distance was traveled, if the direction is not specified.
In which circumstances is displacement is the same as distance traveled?
When the motion is in a straight line.
