1 An object has moved through a
distance. Can it have zero
* displacement? If yes, sirport
your answer with an example,
Answers
Answer:
Yes, if the object has moved through a distance, it surely can have zero displacements. as displacement is a vector quantity depending on starting and ending position, not on the path.
For example, 1 circle of motion has distance 2πR but 0 displacements.

Answer:
Yes displacement can be Zero
Explanation:
If any body move, it will have a distance.
Because distance is the path covered by the body.But Displacement is the shortest path covered by the body. In the 1st picture the distance is the path covered by the body.so path 1,2,3 can be the distance. But displacement is always the straight line between starting point and end point. So the displacement is always the path 2 as it the shortest part between A and B.
But in next picture, one person is walking in a circular path.Let the perimeter be X. so after walking through the circular for for one time the distance covered by by the person will be X. But the distance will be zero. because the starting point and end point of the person is same.
suppose a person started his journey from his house to his office. He went 5 km north in a straight line. then he comes back to home from office covering the same path in opposite direction. so the total distance covered by person is 5 + 5 = 10. but the displacement is zero because he started from his house and finished his journey at the same point.
hope that it will help you.
