Question

Displacement can be positive, negative or zero.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Depend upon speed
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Displacement is a vector quantity, so we need to specify a magnitude and direction in order to fully characterize it. Unlike distance, which can only get larger on any path taken, displacement can be positive, negative, or zero. Displacement is zero when you start and end at the same spot.
