(i) The initial velocity.
(ii) Acceleration of the car.

उत्तर
Distance travelled s = 100 m
Average velocity V = 20 m/s
Final velocity v = 25 m/s
(i) Let u be the initial velocity.
Average velocity = (Initial velocity + Final velocity)/2
V = (u + v)/2
20 = (u + 25)/2
u = 40 - 25 = 15 m/s-1
(ii) Let 'a' be the acceleration of the car.
Using the third equation of motion,
v2 - u2 = 2as
We get,
(25) 2 - (15) 2 = 2 (a) (100)
625 - 225 = 200 a
a = (400/200) m/s2 = 2 m/s-2

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 parallel to the time axis?
A body is moving in a straight line and its displacement at various instants of time is given in the following table
| Time (s) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Displacement (m) | 2 | 6 | 12 | 12 | 12 | 18 | 22 | 24 |
Plot the displacement-time graph and calculate
(i) Total distance travelled in the interval 1 s to 5 s.
(ii) Average velocity in time interval 1 s to 5 s.
Define Displacement.
Can you suggest the kind of motion of a body from the following distance – time graph?
A body moves along a circular path of radius r. When it completes three complete rounds, what is the ratio of distance covered to its displacement?
Match the following.
| 1. | Displacement | Knot |
| 2. | Light travelling through vacuum | Geometric centre |
| 3. | Speed of ship | Metre |
| 4. | Centre of gravity of geometrical shaped objects | Larger base area |
| 5. | Stability | Uniform velocity |
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.
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.
Considering negligible air resistance, which of the following statement is true?
Displacement is the ______ distance covered by a body.
