- Its magnitude is greater than the distance travelled by the object.
Differentiate between distance and displacement.
How is the distance related with time for motion under uniform acceleration such as the motion of a freely falling body?
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.
