Question

an object has moved through a certain path and came in it's initial position .what will be the magnitude of displacement of the object.​

Answer 1

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

Answer: An object can have zero displacement even when it has moved a distance and shown some displacement. This takes place when the final position of an object coincides with its own initial position. Let's say, if a person moves around circular area and comes back to the place from where he started then the displacement will be zero.
