Question

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

Answer 1

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!the object instead of moving 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. as the image there the man start from a point and finish walking at that point then the displacement will be zero. as it started from  a pont and finished at same point................hope this will help u:)

Answer 2

Yes, an object can have zero displacement even when it has moved through a distance.This happens when final position of the object coincides with its initial position. For example,if a person moves around park and stands on place from where he started then here displacement will be zero.
