Question

Philoid · Accepted Answer

Yes, there can be displacement on an object even if there is no force acting on it.

Force = mass × acceleration

If a body possesses constant velocity then it will have some displacement but there is no change in velocity so the acceleration of body will be zero. If there is no acceleration then there will be no force acting on the body.
