Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes, zero displacement is possible if an object has moved through a distance. Suppose a ball starts moving from point A and it returns back at same point A, then the distance will be equal to 20 meters while displacement will be zero.

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.
