If you have moved forward and backward, hence ending up at the same point you started, then displacement is zero. That's because Displacement takes into account the direction - hence a vector quantity.
The distance only bothers about the distance - hence it doesn't matter if you came to where you started. So in total, 5 meters up and 5 down is 10. Distance = 10
Your displacement is 20 metres.
Assuming there is no skidding involved, one revolution of the wheel will move it forward a distance equal to the circumference of the wheel. This can be calculated according to the formula c = 2 * PI * r, where c is the circumference and r is the radius of the wheel (the distance between its axis or middle to any point on its surface).
20 meters.
Pick a starting point. Go forward for 4932832/4 = 1233208 units of distance. Then turn through 90 degrees left or right. Then go forward for another 1233208 units and turn through 90 degrees in the same (left or right) direction. Go forward for another 1233208 units and again turn 90 degrees left or right. Go forward a further 1233208 units. You will be back where you started, having travelled along a square route which is 4932832 units long.
Well, honey, distance is a scalar quantity that represents the length between two points, so it's always positive. If you end up with a negative value, you've probably taken a wrong turn somewhere. Just like in life, you can't have negative distance – you just gotta keep moving forward, darling.
Displacement is the distance from initial to ending point. Suppose you took 3 steps forward and then 2 steps back. Your displacement in 1 step forward. Distance is distance travelled in total. If you took 3 steps forward and 2 steps back, your distance travelled is 5 steps.

The distance traveled is 135 meters (100 m forward + 35 m backwards). However, the displacement is 65 meters forward (100 m - 35 m) since displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position in a straight line.
The distance traveled would be 135 meters (100m forward + 35m backward). The displacement would be 65 meters forward (100m - 35m) as it measures the shortest distance from the initial point to the final point.
The total distance traveled is 135 m (100 m forward + 35 m backward). The displacement is 65 m forward (100 m - 35 m), which is the straight-line distance from the starting point to the final position.
The distance traveled is 135m (100m forward + 35m backward). The displacement is 65m forward (100m - 35m), as displacement is the difference between the final and initial positions regardless of the path taken.
The distance traveled would be 135m (100m + 35m) since it's the total length of the path you walked. The displacement would be 65m forward because it's the difference between your final position and your initial position.
The displacement would be 24 yards from the line of scrimmage. The distance traveled would be 56 yards.
Not necessarily. The distance traveled by an object depends on its displacement, which includes the direction of motion. If an object moves forward and then backward to return to the starting point, the distance traveled would be the total length of the path taken by the object.
Your displacement is 20 metres.
yes
The displacement of the point initially in contact with the ground when the wheel rolls forward one-half revolution is equal to half the circumference of the wheel. The circumference of a circle is given by 2πr, where r is the radius of the wheel. Thus, the displacement is πR.
