Question

1. An object has moved through a
distance. Can it have zero
displacement? If yes, support
your answer with an example.
​

Answer 1

Yes it can have zero displacement. If it comes to original position again, it's position does not change.

So displacement =0

In a circle, an object covers 2pi r distance but comes to original position again after revolution so displacement becomes zero.

Answer 2

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.
