प्रश्न
A body starts from rest with uniform acceleration 2 m s-2. Find the distance covered by the body in 2 s.

उत्तर
Initial velocity u = 0
Acceleration a = 2 m/s2
Time t = 2 s
Let 'S' be the distance covered.
Using the second equation of motion,
S = ut + (1/2) at2
S = 0 + (1/2) (2) (2) 2
S = 4 m

State whether distance is a scalar or a vector quantity.
The displacement of a moving object in a given interval of time is zero. Would the distance travelled by the object also be zero ? Give reason for your answer.
A boy walks from his classroom to the bookshop along a straight corridor towards North. He covers a distance of 20 m in 25 seconds to reach the bookshop. After buying a book, he travels the same distance in the same time to reach back in the classroom. Find (a) average speed, and (b) average velocity, of the boy.
Figure (a) shows the velocity-time graph for the motion of a body. Use it to find the displacement of the body at t = 1 s, 2 s, 3 s and 4 s, then draw on Figure (b), the displacement-time graph for it.
