To determine John's resultant displacement from the 237 km marker, we need to know his starting point and the distance he has traveled. If John is at the 237 km marker and hasn't moved, his resultant displacement is 0 km. However, if he has traveled a certain distance away from that marker, his displacement would be the distance he has moved from 237 km, either positive or negative depending on the direction of travel. Please provide more details about his journey for a precise calculation.
The magnitude of displacement is equal to distance traveled when motion is in a straight line.
displacement
Yes. It always is when the motion is all in a straight line.
Distance is the total path length traveled by an object, while displacement is the straight-line distance between the initial and final positions, considering direction. Since displacement represents the shortest possible path between two points, the distance covered must always be equal to or greater than this straight-line measure. This is because any deviation from a straight path, such as curves or changes in direction, increases the total distance traveled without reducing the displacement. Thus, by definition, distance cannot be less than displacement.

The slope of the ant's displacement vs. time graph The total displacement divided by the time.
The distance in a straight line to the nearest part of South Dakota from Winnipeg is approximately 274 miles. In a straight line it is approx 439 to Sioux Falls and 493 to Rapid City. These are straight line distances, not driving distances.

What is the displacement of a car traveling 10 km north 5km east 15 km south and 5 km north?
The formula used to calculate the displacement of an object moving in a straight line is: Displacement Final Position - Initial Position

Distance is equal to magnitude of displacement when the motion is in a straight line.
Displacement and distance are numerically equal if an object travels in a straight line. However, when indicating displacement, the direction should also always be indicated.

The displacement-time graph for a body moving in a straight line with uniformly increasing speed would be a straight line with a positive slope. As time increases, the displacement of the body also increases at a constant rate.
