Answer:

Explanation:

yes object can move through a distance  and can have zero displacement  

as displacement is the shortest distance between two points eg: if a person has moved a distance of 20 m and comes back to his original place by moving back 20m in such a case  distance moved by the person is 40m but his displacement is 0 as shortest distance covered by him is 0 as he is in his original place

Yes, it is possible for a body to have traveled a distance yet have a displacement of zero.

Distance traveled by a body is the length of the path covered by it.

On the other hand displacement of a body is the shortest distance between the initial and the final point of a body.

When a body is traveling such that it ends at the point from where it started its journey, it covers a distance but the displacement of the body is zero.

So a body that has moved through a distance can have zero displacement.
