What is Zero displacements?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Displacement is the smallest distance between the final state and the initial state of the body. It is categorized as a vector quantity because it has magnitude and as well as direction both. And a vector can be a negative, positive, and zero. So, the case in which displacement is zero is known as zero displacements. Generally, displacement is denoted by 's,' and it has the same unit as of distance that is meter.

 

The expression to determine displacement is,

s=x2 -x1
