Can distance be zero?


Open in App
Solution

Distance:

  1. Distance is the total movement of an object without any regard for direction.
  2. It is a measurement of how far apart objects are. It can also be defined as the length of the path between any two points.
  3. It is a scalar quantity i.e., it takes into consideration magnitude only.
  4. The distance can only be zero when there is no movement of the object i.e., it is at rest.

Therefore, a distance can be zero if the object is at rest.
