Question

Can a body have zero displacement even if it has covered some distance?

Answer 1

Yes, it can happen in situations when the object covers some distance and comes back to its starting/initial point.
For example - when u go to school, and come back home, you cover some distance but have zero displacement.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Yes,a body can have a zero displacement even if it has covered distance.

If the body covers a particlar distance and comes back to its initial position,then the displacement is zero because displacement is initial distance -final distance.

Example :If a body covers 10 m and after that it returns to its initial position, then here we can say that the displacement of the body is zero. But the distance covered is 20m.
