If you ride your bicycle down a straight road for 500m then turn around and ride back, your distance is greater than your displacement.

A

Explanation

Here, distance is the total measurement the rider drives from starting to the ending point and back from the ending point to the starting point.

It is given that the rider travels a straight road of 500 m.

The distance d1, in which rider starts from the starting point to the ending point is 500m.

The distance d2, in which rider starts from ending point back to the starting point is 500m. Therefore total distance= d1+d2=500+500= 1000m.

Displacement, the shortest distance from the initial (here starting point) to final (ends at starting point) position of the rider. Therefore the displacement, in this case, = 0m.

So distance-1000m>displacement-0m.
