State whether distance is a scalar or a vector quantity.
What can you say about the nature of motion of a body if its displacement-time graph is A straight line inclined to the time axis with an acute angle?
Figure shows the displacement-time graph of two vehicles A and B moving along a straight road. Which vehicle is moving faster? Give reason.

A body starts from rest with uniform acceleration 2 m s-2. Find the distance covered by the body in 2 s.
Draw displacement – time graph for the following situation:
When a body is moving with variable velocity.
Can you suggest the kind of motion of a body from the following distance – time graph?

From the displacement – time graph shown given below calculate :
- Velocity between 0 – 2 s.
- Velocity between 8 s – 12 s.
- Average velocity between 5 s – 12 s.

A body is moving along a circular path of radius r. What will be the distance and displacement of the body when it completes:
Two full revolutions

| Time (s) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Distance travelled by A (m) | 0 | 20 | 80 | 180 | 240 | 300 | 360 | 420 |
| Distance travelled by B (m) | 0 | 10 | 40 | 90 | 160 | 250 | 360 | 490 |
