Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes, zero displacement is possible if an object has moved through a distance. Suppose a ball starts moving from point A and it returns back at same point A, then the distance will be equal to 20 meters while displacement will be zero.

hOPE IT HELPS.

Answer 2

Explanation:

But displacement is the shortest path between the initial and final position.

Ex-Throwing a ball up and again catching it.

Here the displacement of the ball is zero.
