Draw a velocity-time graph for a body moving with an initial velocity u and uniform acceleration a. Use this graph to find the distance travelled by the body in time t.
Figure given below shows a velocity-time graph for a car starting from rest. The graph has three parts AB, BC and CD.
Compare the distance travelled in part BC with the distance travelled in part AB.
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.
Give an example of a body which covers a certain distance, but its displacement is zero.
Calculate the distance and displacement in the following case:
A body is moving along a circular path of radius r. What will be the distance and displacement of the body when it completes:
Half a revolution
A body is moving along a circular path of radius r. What will be the distance and displacement of the body when it completes:
`(3/4)` th of a revolution
The table below shows the distance travelled by two vehicles A and B during each second:
| 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 |
Which vehicle is ahead at the end of 7th second and by how much?
Exercise Problems.
An athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200 m in 40 s. What will be the distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2 m and 20 s?
Displacement magnitude can be greater than the distance traveled by the object.
