What is the displacement of an object during a specific unit of time?
The displacement of an object is its Volume.
The total displacement divided by the time interval during which the displacement occurred?
Average Velocity
Can distance be negative in physics?
No. Distance is never negative, and total distance travelled doesn't decrease during a trip. The distance from A to B is the same as the distance from B to A. Displacement, on the other hand, can be negative, and can decrease during a trip. The displacement from A to B is the same magnitude, but opposite sign, as the displacement from B to A. An example would be if you went from your home to a friend's house 1 mile to the east. After you reach your friend's house, you have travelled a distance of 1 mile and your displacement from your starting position is 1 mile. When you come back home from your friends house, you travel a distance of 1 more mile. Your total distance travelled is now 2 miles, but your displacement from your starting location is zero (because you are back where you started.) Distance does not have direction, and is always positive (or zero). Displacement has direction, and can be negative, positive, or zero.
How is work done by a force measured when force is in direction of displacement?
Work = (force on an object) times (displacement of the object during the time the force is applied to it).
What the diffence of displacement and non-displacement pile?
A displacement pile is one which displaces soils during installation. For instance a driven pile displaces the soil as it is being driven into the ground. A non-displacement pile is one formed by some other method, perhaps a drilled shaft, or some other installation method.

Mike walks 100 meters north then walks 30 meters south After this he walks another 10 meters north What is the magnitude of his total displacement during this walk in meters?
80
Mackinzie walks 4 blocks west then 2 blocks south then 4 blocks east and finally 1 block south What is the magnitude of her total displacement during this walk?
3
Mackinzie walks 4 blocks west then 2 blocks south then 4 blocks east and finally 1 block south What is the magnitude of her total displacement during this walk in blocks?
The total is 3
The total displacement divided by the time interval during which the displacement occurred?
Average Velocity
Mike walks 100 meters north then walks 30 meters south. After this he walks another 10 meters north. What is the magnitude of his total displacement during this walk in meters?
The answer is 80 because 100-30+10 is 80.
What is the role of cerebellum during swimming?

When does displacement begin during an earthquake?
Fucus
Magnitude is an earthquake's what?
The magnitude of an earthquake is caluated to measure the amount of energy released during the earthquake.
