Sure. The displacement achieved by running or driving around

a circular track and ending up where you started is zero.

When are the displacement velocity and acceleration equal to zero for the motion of a mass on a spring?

Displacement and acceleration are zero at the instant the mass passes through its "rest" position ... the place where it sits motionless when it's not bouncing. Velocity is zero at the extremes of the bounce ... where the expansion and compression of the spring are maximum, and the mass reverses its direction of motion.


Is it possible displacement be zero but distance not?

Yes, it is possible for displacement to be zero while distance is not. This can happen when an object moves in different directions and its total movement results in a non-zero distance, while the net change in position (displacement) from start to finish is zero.


If displacement of a particle is zero?

If displacement of a particle is zero in a uniform circular motion, then the distance travelled by that particle is not zero, kinetic energy is constant, speed is constant and work done is zero


What is the magnitude of the displacement of a windup toy that starts its motion from any position and returns to that position?

The magnitude of the displacement of the windup toy is zero. Since it starts and ends at the same position, the net change in position is zero, resulting in zero displacement.


What is the origin of 0 zero?

the origin is define as the point (0,0) it means no motion or no displacement


The quantity that can be zero if a body remains in motion for sometime is?

Acceleration. Even if a body remains in motion for some time, its acceleration can be zero if the velocity remains constant.


When is workdone by force is zero?

Work done by a force is zero when the force is applied perpendicular to the direction of motion of the object. Another scenario is when the force is applied but there is no displacement of the object.


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.


Is it possible that displasment is zero but not the distance?

Yes. If you end up where you started, your displacement is zero, but the distance you travel is the actual amount of ground covered. For example, if you made a round trip of 50 miles, your displacement would be zero miles, but your distance would be 50 miles. This is because the final position and the initial position are the same. Round trips always have a displacement of zero.


Can you have zon zero displacement and a non zero average velocity?

Yes, it is possible to have zero displacement and a non-zero average velocity. This can occur if an object moves back and forth over a certain distance so that the total displacement is zero, but the average velocity is non-zero due to the object covering distance in both directions.


Why displacement is zero in a circular motion?

In a circular motion, the net displacement of an object over one complete revolution is zero because it ends up back where it started. Even though the object may have traveled a certain distance around the circle, its final position is the same as its initial position.


What would be the shape of a displacement versus time graph for an object?

the displacement mean the shortest distance between two points. the shape of displacement where the objects move and its also help us to tell the shape of displacement with the use of graph.
