How a displacement is zero when a body moves from origen and return to same point?

Displacement is a value predicated on the shortest distance between an initial and final position. If a "body" moves a certain distance and returns to its original origin it has not technically traveled any distance based on this definition. The displacement will therefore be zero

Give an example where displacement is zero but distance is not?
when the body moves circularly from a point 'A' to a then the displacement will be zero(displacement is the shortest diatance from the initial point to final point) and the distance will not be zero.
What does displacement mean?
Moves it out of area
The total distance an object moves from its starting point is what?
When an object moves, it travels some distance. Distance depends on speed and time traveled.How far you get while traveling is the displacement. Displacement and distance are different.Displacement is the difference from the starting point to the ending point. It is a vector, the vector with direction towards the end point from the starting point and magnitude, the separation.Distance is a scalar, magnitude only, and that is what most people mean by how far they travel.
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.
How does the distance moved by an object between its starting point and ending point compare to the displacement vector between the same points?
grravity or some other force moves it
What is the displacement for a driver who travels 10km to get a point that is 4km from his starting point?
The displacement is 4 km.
What is the displacement for a driver that travels 10 km to get to a point that is 4 km from his starting point?
A displacement of 4 km from the starting point.
What is the displacement for a driver who traveled 10 km to get to a point that is 4 km from his starting point?
A displacement of 4 km from the starting point.
What is displacement for a driver who travels 10 km to get to a point that is 4 km from his starting point?
A displacement of 4 km from the starting point.
What is the displacement for a driver who travels 10 km to get to a point that is 4 km from starting point?
A displacement of 4 km from the starting point.
What is the displacement for a driver who travels 10 km to get a point that is 4 km from his starting point?
His displacement is 4 km. The length of the route that he takes to get there is not relevant in measuring his displacement.
What are displacement?
vector representing a change in position of a body or point with respect to a reference point, Displacement may be linear or angular.
