Question

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

Answer 1

Pls tell correctly answer want now very urgent this my homework please tell

Answer 2

Yes, if object has moved through a distance, it surely can has zero displacement. as displacement is a vector quantity depending on starting and ending position not on the path.

For example, 1 circle of motion has distance 2πR but 0 displacement.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, zero displacement is possible if an object has moved through a distance.

Suppose a ball starts moving from point A and it returns back at same point A, then the distance will be equal to 20 meters while displacement will be zero.
