Answer 1

Yes the displacement can be zero when the body had travelled a distance and come back on the point from where it started.

Eg.

A 6km B

In this example a body travels from point A to point B and he travelled 6km distance from A to B and if it comes back again from B to A then the displacement would be zero.

Answer 2

$\huge\mathcal\color{teal}{Answer :- }$

Yes, an object moving a certain distance can have zero total displacement. Displacement refers to the shortest distance between the initial and the final positions of the object. Even if an object moves through a considerable distance, if it eventually comes back to its initial position, the corresponding displacement of the object would be zero.
