Question
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, there can be displacement without a force acting on an object.
Reason:
According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object moving with a uniform velocity in a straight line will continue to move (displace) indefinitely unless acted upon by an external force. In this state, the net force is zero, but displacement continues.
