Question

Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. When a single force is applied to an object, it accelerates.
2. When an object accelerates, it is subjected to a force.
3. Assume that an object is traveling at a constant speed.
4. It has no net force operating on it. However, the object's motion is accompanied with displacement. As a result, a displacement without a force is possible.

Therefore, yes, even if there is no force exerted on the object, it can be displaced.
