State how the velocity-time graph can be used to find The distance travelled by the body in a given time
Figure given below shows a velocity-time graph for a car starting from rest. The graph has three parts AB, BC and CD.
State how is the distance travelled in any part determined from this graph .
Give two differences between displacement and distance.
An object covers a distance of S meters in t seconds as follows :
| S (meters) | 0 | 8 | 20 | 20 | 16 | 10 | 0 |
| t (Seconds) | 80 | 2 | 5 | 10 | 12 | 15 | 10 |
Plot a graph, taking t on X-axis and S on Y-axis. Determine the velocity of the object at time
(i) 6 s, and
(ii) 14 s.
Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero.
Reason: The displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position.
Distance is a ______ quantity.
In which of the following cases of motions, the distance moved and the magnitude of displacement are equal?
