Question

Can distance be zero?

Answer 1

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.
