Clarify the difference.
Distance and displacement
What can you say about the nature of motion of a body if its displacement-time graph is A curve.
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.
Draw displacement – time graph for the following situation:
When a body is moving with variable velocity.
Write the SI units for measurement of distance and displacement.
Name the physical quantity associated with the rate of change of displacement with time.
A particle is moving in a circular path of radius r. The displacement after half a circle would be
Using the following data, draw time - displacement graph for a moving object:
| Time (s) | 0 | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 |
| Displacement (m) | 0 | 2 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 6 | 4 | 2 | 0 |
Use this graph to find average velocity for the first 4 s, for the next 4 s and for the last 6 s.
Displacement magnitude can be greater than the distance traveled by the object.
