Questions

1. An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacement? If yes, support your answer with an example.

2. A farmer moves along the boundary of a square field of side 10 m in 40 s. What will be the magnitude of displacement of the

farmer at the end of 2 minutes 20

seconds from his initial position?

3. Which of the following is true for displacement?

(a) It cannot be zero.

(b) Its magnitude is greater than the distance travelled by the object.​

Answer 1

Answer:

yes ,if object is moving in circular path

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.
