प्रश्न
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 |
Plot a graph, taking t on X-axis and S on Y-axis. Determine the velocity of the object at time
(i) 6 s, and
(ii) 14 s.

Clarify the difference.
Distance and displacement
State how the velocity-time graph can be used to find The distance travelled by the body in a given time
Figure ahead represents the displacement - time sketch of motion of two cars A and B . Find :
(i) the distance by which the car B was initially ahead of car A.
(ii) the velocities of car A and car B.
(iii) the time in which car A catches car B.
(iv) the distance from start when the car A will catch the car B.

A car starting from rest accelerates uniformly to acquire a speed 20 km h-1 in 30 min. The distance travelled by a car in this time interval will be _____________
A car travels a distance 100 m with constant acceleration and average velocity of 20 ms-1. The final velocity acquired by the car is 25 ms-1.
Find
(i) The initial velocity.
(ii) Acceleration of the car.
Give two differences between displacement and distance.
How can you find the following?
Velocity from a displacement – time graph.
A satellite makes a complete round along its circular orbit. What is its displacement?
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 |
Give the value of the velocity at which they are meeting
Assertion: If the displacement of the body is zero, the distance covered by it may not be zero.
Reason: Displacement is a vector & distance is a scalar quantity.
