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.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes. For a uniformly moving object
Suppose an object is moving with constant velocity. The net force acting on it is zero. But, there is a displacement along the motion of the object. Hence, there can be a displacement without a force.
