Answer 1

Answer:

5cm distance and 5cm displacement

Answer 2

$\huge\mathcal\color{teal}{Answer :- }$

Yes, an object moving a certain distance can have zero total displacement. Displacement refers to the shortest distance between the initial and the final positions of the object. Even if an object moves through a considerable distance, if it eventually comes back to its initial position, the corresponding displacement of the object would be zero.
