Question 12

Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it? Think. Discuss this question with your friends and teacher

Answer

Yes, a uniformly moving object can experience displacement even when no force is acting on it. According to Newton's first law of motion, an object in motion will continue in its straight-line motion unless acted upon by an external force. Therefore, displacement of an object can occur in the absence of any force acting on it.
