Question

Can a displacement from one point to another be zero, yet the distance involved in moving between these points be nonzero? Explain

Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, the displacement from one point to another can be zero even if the distance involved in moving between the points are non-zero. If an object moves around a circular path such that the starting point and the finishing point are same, the distance travelled would be the circumference, but the displacement of the object would be zero.
