Best Answer

0 isn't a real number.

Distance: the extent or amount of space between two things, points or lines.

0 is not a amount as it is not a number and is the "Distance" were to be 0 then it wouldn't be any leanth away.

Can the distance covered by a moving object ever by zero gess than give an example?

No, the distance covered by a moving object cannot be less than zero. Distance is always measured as a positive value. If an object is moving, it will always cover a distance greater than or equal to zero.


Can the distance travelled by the particle be zero when the displacement is not zero?

The distance travelled by a particle cannot be zero when displacement is not zero because unlike distance which is a scalar, displacement is a vector quantity implying that it has both direction and magnitude.


Explain that can displacement be zero even if distance is not equal to zero?

If the distance is measured from a point other than the initial position of the object.

What is greater distance or displacement?

Distance is a scalar quantity that measures the total path length traveled, regardless of direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that measures the change in position from the starting point to the ending point in a straight line. Displacement can be equal to or less than distance traveled, but never greater.

No. You cannot divide by zero.


Can the distance travelled by a particle be zero when displacement is not zero?

Yes, the distance travelled by a particle can be zero even when the displacement is not zero. This can happen when the particle moves back and forth along the same path, resulting in a net displacement of zero but no actual distance covered.
