Detailed Solution

A ball is thrown vertically upwards, and it reaches point P and returns to the initial position; its displacement will be zero.
Displacement is the shortest path between the initial and final points. In this case, an object is thrown at a certain height, and it returns to its initial position. Hence the displacement is zero. But the distance travelled by the object is non-zero. The distance travelled by an object is twice the distance between two positions.
