➡️Distance:
The total distance covered by an object.
➡️ Displacement:
The shortest distance between initial and final points.
So let me take a case:
U r walking around a park of radius 7 m
So u finally reached a point where u started the trip.
So here, the total distance covered by u is 2πr= 2×(22/7)×7=44m
To find the displacement, we need to find the shortest distance between the starting point and ending point.
Since u reached where u started the trip, the starting point and ending point are same.So shortest distance between them is 0.
So displacement=0
Here, displacement is 0 and distance not equal to 0

yeah bro
It is possible
To have zero velocity, but still acceleration
Eg:
Suppose u r throwing a cricket ball upward
At the highest point, for a fraction of second, it will remain there before falling down
So at that time velocity=0
But still the Earth attracts that ball
So acceleration due to gravity is acting on it
So a body can have acceleration even if it's velocity is 0

Yess!
Displacement is the distance between initial and final positions i.e from the point the object starts moving and the point at which it ends moving.
Therefore, if you start moving from a point and come back to that point from where you started, you will have zero (0) displacement.
