What can you say about the nature of motion of a body if its displacement-time graph is A straight line parallel to the time axis?
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.
Write an expression for the distance S covered in time t by a body which is initially at rest and starts moving with a constant acceleration a.
Ashok starts from his house and travels 3 km to reach his school. On finding the school gates closed, he returns to his house. What is?
The distance traveled by Ashok.
A satellite makes a complete round along its circular orbit. What is its displacement?
Give the name of the physical quantity that corresponds to the rate of change of displacement.
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.
Slope of a velocity-time graph gives
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?
A body is projected up with an initial velocity of u m/s. It goes up to a height, ‘h’ meters in seconds' time. Then it comes back at the point of projection.
