Is displacement a scalar quantity ?
The minimum distance between the start and finish points of the motion of an object is called the ______ of the object.
Differentiate between distance and displacement.
Figure given below shows a velocity-time graph for a car starting from rest. The graph has three parts AB, BC and CD.
State how is the distance travelled in any part determined from this graph .
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.
From the displacement – time graph shown given below calculate :
- Velocity between 0 – 2 s.
- Velocity between 8 s – 12 s.
- Average velocity between 5 s – 12 s.
Calculate the distance and displacement in the following case:
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 scalar quantity has ______.
The displacement covered by the second hand of radius V in a clock after one revolution is ______.
