A body is moving along a circular path of radius R. What will be the distance travelled and displacement of the body when it completes half a revolution ?
If on a round trip you travel 6 km and then arrive back home :
What distance have you travelled ?
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 ______________
Figure given below shows a velocity-time graph for a car starting from rest. The graph has three parts AB, BC and CD.
Compare the distance travelled in part BC with the distance travelled in part AB.
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 body starts from rest with uniform acceleration 2 m s-2. Find the distance covered by the body in 2 s.
Draw displacement – time graph for the following situation:
When a body is moving with variable velocity.
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
Give one example where the displacement is zero but the distance travelled is not zero.
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.
