Question

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

Answer 1

$\huge \sf\underline{ \underline{answer}}$

Yes, even when an object moves through a distance it can have zero displacement.

$\large \sf \underline{example}$

Consider the motion of a car from position A to position B as shown in attachment.

Now let us consider that the car again comes back from B to position A.

Thus,the total distance travelled by the car (from A to B and from B to A)

$\: \: \: \: \: \: = AB + BA = 30 + 30 = 60km.$

but the final position coincides with the initial position,the displacement is zero.
