(1) A runner starts at the start line and runs 100 meters on a straight lane to complete the race. Let us find the distance travelled and displacement of the runner.
The runner runs on a straight path in a single direction. Thus his displacement and distance travelled will be same, and equal to 100 meters.
(2) A car starts from home and travels 40 kilometers to a hospital and returns back 20 km to a grocery. Let us consider the distance travelled and displacement of the car.

Distance travelled in this case will be 40+20=60 kms.
Displacement = 40-20=20 kms.
(3) In the above example, consider that the car starts from home to cover 40 kmstill hospital and returns back to home.
Distance travelled will be 40 kilometerstill hospital plus 40 kms back to home, equaling to 80 kms.
Since the car returns back to its original position, there is zero displacement.

(4) Starting from rest, a person moves 20km west, then 30kms north from there, and turn east and moves 20kms.

Displacement will be the difference between the final position and the initial position of the person.In this case, the distance will be the total path travelled which is, 20+30+20=70.
Finally, the person will be 30 km north from its starting position. Thus, its displacement is 30km towards north.
(5) An object starts from A and reaches C. Find its distance and displacement
