You must observe the object twice.
-- Look at it the first time, and make a mark where it is.
-- After some time has passed, look at the object again, and
make another mark at the place where it is.
-- At your convenience, take out your ruler, and measure the
distance between the two marks.
What you'll have is the object's "displacement" during that period
of time ... the distance between the start-point and end-point.
Technically, you won't know the actual distance it has traveled
during that time, because you don't know the route it took.
The whole definition of frequency is: <em>How often something happens. </em>
Especially referring to something that happens over and over and over and over.
One example is Choice-C: How often the particles of a medium vibrate.
"Frequency" comes from the word "frequent". That means "often", and "frequency" just means "often-ness" ... HOW often the thing happens.
Some other examples:
Frequency of jump-roping . . . maybe 60 per minute .
Frequency of rain . . . maybe 5 per month .
Frequency of an AM radio station . . . maybe 1 million waves per second.
(If it's something <u><em>per second</em></u>, then we call it "Hertz". That's not for the car rental company. It's for Heinrich Hertz, the German Physicist who was the first one to prove that electromagnetic waves exist. He sent radio waves all the way ACROSS HIS LABORATORY and detected them at the other side ( ! ), in 1887.)
Frequency of the wiggles in the sound wave coming out of a trumpet playing the note ' A ' . . . 440 Hertz.
Frequency of sunrise and the Chicago Tribune newspaper . . . 1 per day
Frequency of the cycle of Moon phases and an average human woman's ovulation cycle: 1 per 29.531 days, 1 per ~28 days .

Answer:
If there are equal forces in both directions and there is no motion, the net force is 0 Newtons. This is because you'd be subtracting 100 from 100 which just equals 0.
