Answer 1

Question :-

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

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.

Answer 2

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.
