When is workdone by force is zero?

work done on an object zero by a force would be zero isif the displacement of the object is zero


Can displacement be zero even if distance is non zero?

On a three dimensional basis yes it can. Fir instance, if an object is moving directly towards or away from you the angular displacement can be zero though the distance displacement changes.


Can an object be moving for ten seconds but still have zero displacement?

yes


When would displacement equal to zero?

When the object, whose location is being measured, is at the reference point for measuring displacement.


What are the Example of an object constantly moving but having zero displacement?

Simply, it is the air.


Can displacement can be zero even when distance is not zero?

No. Distance can be greater than displacement, but not less. The magnitude of the displacement between two points is also the minimum possible distance of a path between the same points.However, the displacement can be zero if the distance is not if the object's starting point and ending point are the same.


Can you have zero displacement and nonzero velocity?

i will give u an illustration, consider an object projected (thrown)with some initial vertical velocity from the ground such that it traces a open downward parabolicpath, in that path the vertical displacement of the body from the point of projection to the point where it strikes the ground is equal to zero,but it have some velocity.


If the average velocity of an object is zero in some time interval what can you say about the displacement of the object for that interval?

When the velocity is zero at the crossing of the time axis, the displacement must be a full maximum or minimum. Scroll down to related links and look at "Displacement - Velocity- Acceleration".


What would be the displacement when the object moved at constant speed?

An object with no movement at all has a zero speed or which have an constant speed. 0


Explain how the displacement of an object could be zero while the distance traveled was 150 miles?

Displacement is only the distance from the starting point. As long as you return to where you started, then you can travel 1.0 x 10^999999999999 miles and still have a displacement of zero.


Will the displacement of a moving object in a given interval of time is zerowould the distance traveled by the object also be zero justify?

Displacement is a vector quantity while distance is a scalar quantity. so in case of displacement, it depends on final position. For example:- If a man walks on a circle, then if he completes one round then his displacement will be zero because the man is at same position as start position. But, his distance travelled will not be zero; it is equal to circumference of the circle.


Explain that can displacement be zero even if distance is not equal to zero?

If the distance is measured from a point other than the initial position of the object.
