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

No.


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.


When is work done though displacement is zero?

When an object is propelled by a non-centripetal force through a closed path.


If the numbers are the same distance from zero What is a non example?

The question is incomplete. There is an if clause but no then clause.


What are even natural numbers?

even, whole, non-negative numbers. (zero is not a natural number)


Can a displacement from one point to another be zero yet the distance involves in moving these point be zero?

Yes it is possible. Any body that travels in any particular closed shape (circle, square, triangle etc.) and returns to the point in which it started would have travelled a certain distance but the sum of its displacement would be nil. Example: A body travels in a 1 mile north, then 1 mile west, then one mile south and finally 1 mile east (ie. a square). The body has travelled a distance of 4 miles. The bodys displacement is 0 miles due to it returning to the point in which it started. You can calculate displacement using vectors. For this example assuming east is positive x and north is positive y: north + west + south + east y -x -y +x = 0


Is zero a non-negative real number?

Zero is a real number, it is neither positive or negative, and it is even.


What is the difference between a positive and non-positive displacement pump?

Non-positive displacement has slippage inside the pump and it is a continous, variable flow. But positive displacement has no slippage inside the pump, and it is a constant flow.


What is non structural mitigation?

What is a fact for constant of variation?

It is non-zero.It is non-zero.It is non-zero.It is non-zero.


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.


What three numbers make a multiple of ten?

I'm not sure what you want. You can have 5 and 2 and any non-zero whole number. You can have 10 and any two non-zero whole numbers. You can have any even number, then any multiple of 5, then any non-zero whole number. Or any multiple of ten, then any two non-zero whole numbers. I think I covered the possibilities.
