उत्तर
A racehorse runs straight towards the north and covers 540 m in one minute.
(i) Displacement = 540 m − north
(ii) Time = 1 minute = 60 s
Velocity = `"Displacement"/"Time"`
v = `540/60` = 9 ms−1
v = `(9xx3600)/100` km/h = `324/10` km/h
v = 32.4 km/h or kmh−1

A farmer moves along the boundary of a square field of side 10 m in 40 s. What will be the magnitude of displacement of the farmer at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds?
Define Distance.
Give an example of a body which covers a certain distance, but its displacement is zero.
From the displacement – time graph shown given below calculate:
- Average velocity in the first three seconds.
- Displacement from the initial position at the end of 13 s.
- Time after which the body is at the initial position,
- Average velocity after 8 s.
Under what condition is the displacement of a body equal to the distance traveled by it?
A car travels at a uniform speed of 42 km/h. In 10 minutes, how much distance would it cover?
An object covers a distance of S meters in t seconds as follows :
| S (meters) | 0 | 8 | 20 | 20 | 16 | 10 | 0 |
| t (Seconds) | 80 | 2 | 5 | 10 | 12 | 15 | 10 |
