1.	If displacement of a particle is equal to zero then its distance is equal to
Answer» If a body starts from some point, say A, goes in a circle and comes back to point A, then the displacement as defined will be zero. Because the initial and final points will be same and there will be zero distance between them. But in the same case distance will not be zero and will be given by the length of actual path traveled by body.Hence, displacement can be zero, even if distance covered is non-zero.
