Define displacement. State its unit.
Figure shows the displacement-time graph of two vehicles A and B moving along a straight road. Which vehicle is moving faster? Give reason.

Figure ahead represents the displacement - time sketch of motion of two cars A and B . Find :
(i) the distance by which the car B was initially ahead of car A.
(ii) the velocities of car A and car B.
(iii) the time in which car A catches car B.
(iv) the distance from start when the car A will catch the car B.

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.

A ball moves on a smooth floor in a straight line with uniform velocity 10 m s-1 for 6 s. At t = 6 s, the ball hits a wall and comes back along the same line to the starting point with the same speed. Draw the velocity-time graph and use it to find the total distance travelled by the ball and its displacement.
A body starts with an initial velocity of 10m s-1 and acceleration 5 m s-2. Find the distance covered by it in 5 s.
Can you suggest the kind of motion of a body from the following distance – time graph?

Calculate the distance and displacement in the following case:
Is displacement a scalar quantity?
A particle is moving in a circular pattern of radius r. The displacement after half a circle would be ______.
