Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

displacement is the shortest distance between two point...

consider a man walking 2 meters forward and then 2 meters backwards .so he comes to the point form where he has started therefore distance traversed is 4 meter but displacement is zero as the initial and final positions are the same ... also consider a athlete running on a circular track he comes to same point where he started hence displacement is zero but distance he traveled is  2 π r..where r is the radius of the track
