If an object moves from one point to another and then returns to its original position, it will have a total displacement of zero. This is because displacement is a vector quantity that represents the change in position of an object from its starting point to its end point. When the object returns to its starting point, the displacements cancel each other out, resulting in a total displacement of zero.
If an object moves in a closed loop, returning to its initial position, its total displacement will be zero. For example, if you walk around a circular track and end up back at your starting point, your total displacement is zero.
If a person walks 10 meters north and then walks 10 meters south, their total displacement would be zero since they would end up back where they started.
If an object moves from one point to another and then returns back to its original point, the total displacement would be zero as it would end up at the same position it started from. This can happen when there is no change in the object's position relative to its starting point after a series of movements.
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.
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.

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.
Yes, the average velocity of a moving body can be zero. For example, if an object moves to the right for a certain distance and then returns back to its original position in the same amount of time, the total displacement would be zero, resulting in an average velocity of zero.
For the purposes of this explanation, velocity will be given in m/s. If it's starting position is the same as its stopping position, the radio controlled car will have an average velocity of zero meters per second. This is because average velocity is displacement/time interval. Displacement is change in position and is a vector quantity, which has magnitude and direction. Average velocity is the displacement/time interval, and is also a vector quantity, including the magnitude of the speed and its direction. If you start and stop walking at the same position, your displacement is 0m, even if you walked a distance of 100 miles, and your average velocity would be 0m/s. Refer to the related link below for an illustration.
When the object, whose location is being measured, is at the reference point for measuring displacement.

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.
