Question

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

Answer 1

•Yes, if object has moved through a distance, it surely can has zero displacement. as displacement is a vector quantity depending on starting and ending position not on the path.

•For example, 1 circle of motion has distance 2πR but 0 displacement.

hope it helps..!!

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, the object instead of moving through a distance can have zero displacement. Example: If an object travels from point A and reaches to the same point A, then its displacement is zero.

Example : - if you travel from your home to school and back to home, distance would be twice the distance between your home and school.
