Question

If the distance travelled by an object is zero, then the displacement of the object is:

• A. zero
• B. not zero
• C. negative
• D. It may or may not be zero

Answer 1

The correct option is A

zero

1. Distance is the path traveled by the object and displacement is shortest distance between final and initial position.
2. Since distance is zero hence body has not traveled any path, hence final and initial position is also same so displacement is zero.

Hence option A is correct.
