प्रश्न
An object is dropped from rest at a height of 150 m and simultaneously another object is dropped from rest at a height of 100 m. What is the difference in their heights after 2s if both the objects drop with the same accelerations? How does the difference in heights vary with time?

उत्तर
Initially, the difference in heights of two objects
= 150 m – 100 m
= 50 m
Distance travelled by the first object in 2s
h = `"ut" + 1/2 "at"^2`
= `0 + 1/2 xx 10 xx 2 xx 2`
= 20 m
Distance travelled by the second object in 2s,
h' = `"ut" + 1/2 "at"^2`
= `0 + 1/2 xx 10 xx 2 xx 2`
= 20 m
Height of first object from ground at t = 2s
= 150 m − 20 m
= 130 m
Height of second object from ground t = 2s
= 100 m − 20 m
= 80 m
∴ Difference in height after t = 2s
= 130m − 80 m
= 50 m
The difference in heights does not vary with time as long as both the objects are in motion. However, when the second object reaches the ground and the first one is still in motion, then it decreases.

Is displacement a scalar quantity?
A body when projected up with an initial velocity u goes to a maximum height h in time t and then comes back at the point of projection. The correct statement is ______________
State how the velocity-time graph can be used to find The distance travelled by the body in a given time
State how the velocity-time graph can be used to find The displacement of the body in a given time.
A ball moves on a smooth floor in a straight line with uniform velocity 10 m s-1 for 6 s. At t = 6 s, the ball hits a wall and comes back along the same line to the starting point with the same speed. Draw the velocity-time graph and use it to find the total distance travelled by the ball and its displacement.
Calculate the distance and displacement in the following case:
