Answer:
- Distance is a scalar quantity, defined as the total amount of space covered by an object while moving between the final position and the initial position. Therefore, it depends on the path the object has taken: the distance will be minimum if the object has travelled in a straight line, while it will be larger if the object has taken a non-straight path.
- Displacement is a vector quantity, whose magnitude is equal to the distance (measured in a straight line) between the final position and the initial position of the object. Therefore, the displacement does NOT depend on the path taken, but only on the initial and final point of the motion.
If the object has travelled in a straight path, then the displacement is equal to the distance. In all other cases, the distance is always larger than the displacement.
A particular case is when an object travel in a circular motion. Assuming the object completes one full circle, we have:
- The distance is the circumference of the circle
- The displacement is zero, because the final point corresponds to the initial point

Answer:
The closest thing to "rub bing two sticks together" is the hand-drill. You will need a fireboard (a small cedar board is good) and a thin, straight stick.

Synthesis reaction
Unbalanced force.
The definition of an unbalanced force is a force that changes the position, speed or direction of the object to which it is applied.
When an object is still it means that is is balanced force. So you would need to add more force to another side to make it move. Which is unbalanced force.
