Question 12
Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it? Think. Discuss this question with your friends and teacher.

Answer 1

Yes, there can be displacement for a uniformly moving object in the absence of any force acting on it. Suppose an object is moving with constant velocity, the net force acting on it is zero but there is a displacement along the motion of the object. Hence, there can be a displacement without a force.
