As per the question the body possesses kinetic energy but the net displacement of the particle is zero.

Before going to explain the type of motion first we have to know the basics of displacement.

The displacement is a vector quantity which has magnitude as well as direction .it is the minimum distance between two points out of all possible paths

Let us consider an example .let a body travels from point A to the point B and again comes to the back to the same point A .here the distance traveled is 2AB but the net displacement is zero.we have to apply this concept to solve this problem.

As the body possesses kinetic energy but the net displacement is zero .

This is in case of an circular motion.in circular motion the body possesses rotational kinetic energy but in every circular rotation ,the net displacement is zero.

One can take an example of oscillatory motion also.here the particle possesses vibrational kinetic energy ,but in each vibration ,the net displacement is zero.

The heat coming from the sun warms the land more quickly than the sea. As a result of these, the air near the land warm up and rises and the cooler air from the sea moves in to replace the risen air. The correct answer is option A

There will be heat transfer from a region of higher temperature to the region of lower temperature. But in the case of land and sea breeze, the transfer of heat are the result of convectional current in nature. Because the land is a better absorber of heat and also has a lower specific heat capacity compare to sea, during the day, the heat coming from the sun warms the land more quickly than the sea. As a result of these, the air near the land warm up and rises.

The cooler air from the sea moves in to replace the risen air.

Why do ocean winds or sea breezes blow toward shore during the day ? It is because air over the beach heats up, rises and is replaced by ocean air.

Therefore, option A is correct

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Torque as a function of the Force in proportion to the radius to which it is applied. In turn, we will use the concepts of energy expressed as Work, and which is described as the Torque's rate of change in proportion to angular displacement:

$\tau = Fr$
