Is displacement a scalar quantity?
What information about the motion of a body are obtained from the displacement-time graph?
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?
Calculate the distance and displacement in the following case:
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?
The figure represents graphically the velocity of a car moving along a straight road over a period of 100 hours.
Calculate the distance travelled in the last 40 h.
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.
