Can there be displacement of an object in the absence of any force acting on it ?

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.

Solution:
Yes. In the absence of force, acceleration, a = 0 which means body is either at rest or it is in uniform motion. Thus, in case of uniform motion, there is a displacement but there is no force acting on the moving body. Example : When an object moves in deep space from one point to another point in a straight line, the displacement takes place, without the application of force.
