Question

an object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacement? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

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

Answer 2

Answer:

Even if an object moves through a considerable distance, if it eventually comes back to its initial position, then the corresponding displacement of the object would be zero.

If the object goes to another position like a car from Mumbai going to Delhi then no, if the car goes to Delhi and returns back to the same place then yes . Also if the distance between delhi and Mumbai 2km and if the car covered same distance while traveling to Delhi and returning to same position then the displacement is 0. And if my answer was wrong or not helpful pls report this :)
