Question

an object has moved through a distance can it have zero displacement if yes support your answer with an example in solution​

Answer 1

Answer:

yes...even an object has moved through a distance it can have zero displacement if its initial point and final point is same.

if the object have completed one rotation in a circle or it has come back to the starting point after travelling some distance then the displacement is zero.

Answer 2

Yes, an object can have zero displacement even if it has move some distance. Here, in only one condition can happen either a body is moving in circular path then if it goes from Initial point and again return to the same final point then it could have zero displacement.

Suppose a man is walking on a circular path of 300 m.

Distance transversed = 300 m

Displacement = $S_{1} - S_{2}$

Displacement = 300 - 300 = 0 m
