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

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

Hope this helped you:)
