प्रश्न
A body moves along a circular path of radius r. When it completes three complete rounds, what is the ratio of distance covered to its displacement?

उत्तर
As after completing 3 revolution in circular motion the displacement is = 0.
so the ratio of distance covered to the displacement is infinite.

Define Displacement.
Give two differences between displacement and distance.
Give an example of a body which covers a certain distance, but its displacement is zero.
A motor car slows down from 72 kmh−1 to 36 kmh−1 over a distance of 25 m. If the brakes are applied with the same force

A particle moves along a circular path. How many times does it change its direction in two complete rounds?
A car starts from rest and moves along the x-axis with constant acceleration 5 ms–2 for 8 seconds. If it then continues with constant velocity, what distance will the car cover in 12 seconds since it started from the rest?
Using the following data, draw time - displacement graph for a moving object:
| Time (s) | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 |
| Displacement (m) | 0 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 0 |
Use this graph to find average velocity for the first 4 s, for the next 4 s and for the last 6 s.
Assertion: If the displacement of the body is zero, the distance covered by it may not be zero.
Reason: Displacement is a vector & distance is a scalar quantity.
