Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

A very common way of explaining this is using a circle. If an object travels around the radius of a circle, it will have a displacement of 0 but distance traveled could be infinite.

Answer:WELL,INFINITE IS NOT A REAL NUMBER AND IT CANT BE USED IN THIS TYPE OF CALCULATION.....SO THE ANSWER IS NO AS NO REAL OBJECT HAS EVER MOVED INFINITE DISTANCE....BUT IF YOU SAY FINITE THEN IT IS YES TAKE AN EXAMPLE OF A CIRCULAR PATH A BODY STARTS FROM REST AND COVERS (x)NUMBER OF ROUNDS AND COMES BACK TO ITS INITIAL POSITION SO THE DISTANCE WILL BE FINITE AND THE DISPLACEMENT WILL BE ZERO AS IT HAS CAME BACK TO ITS INITIAL POSITION........HOPE YOU GOT YOUR ANSWER
