No. Distance can never be negative.

Answer 2

Answer:

No, it cant be negative

Explanation:

The distance traveled by a body can never be negative as the distance is a scalar quantity.When the object moves to another position, its displacement is the second position minus the first position. The word distance means how far the object moves regardless of direction. It is always positive and is equal to the absolute value, or magnitude, of the displacement.
