Answer 1

answer : yes, sometimes

explanation:

let we consider 4 points A,B,C,D and distance between them is 1 meter

if a man standing at A and goes to B, the his distance and displacement form the point A is 1 meter . then he trevels to D then his distance and displacement from point A is 4 meter . but this time he returned back to point A then his distance is 8 meter ( he going 4 meter A to D and returned from D to A totally 8 meters) but here we have to note one thing that there is no distance between starting point to ending point (he returned back to A) so his displacement is 0Explanation

.

Answer 2

$\huge \mathfrak \blue{answer:}$

Yes,an object can have zero displacement even when it has moved through a distance.This happens when final position of the object coincides with its initial position. For example,if a person moves around park and stands on place from where he started then here displacement will be zero.
