Answer:
An object can have a displacement in the absence of any external force acting on it
Explanation:
When a object moves with a constant velocity (v), then it gets displaced in the direction of motion but the net external force experienced by the object is zero.
F external =ma
If object moves with constant velocity, acceleration is zero.
Since, a=0 ⟹F external =0
Using s=ut+ 1/2 at ^2
⟹ Displacement s=ut (∵a=0)
Hence, an object can have a displacement in the absence of any external force acting on it
