Yes, an object moving a certain distance can have zero total displacement. Displacement refers to the shortest distance between the initial and the final positions of the object. Even if an object moves through a considerable distance, if it eventually comes back to its initial position, the corresponding displacement of the object would be zero.

(a) the speed acquired,
(b) the distance traveled.
A farmer moves along the boundary of a square field of side 10m in 40 s. What will be the magnitude of displacement of the farmer at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds from his initial position?
What is the quantity which is measured by the area occupied below the velocity-time graph?

What can you say about the motion of an object if its speed-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis?
