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 ?
State how the velocity-time graph can be used to find The distance travelled by the body in a given time
Explain the following concept in your own words with everyday examples:
Distance
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.

A motorbike running at 90 kmh−1, is slowed down to 54 kmh−1 by the application of brakes, over a distance of 40 m. If the brakes are applied with the same force, calculate
- total time in which bike comes to rest
- total distance travelled by bike.
Match the following.
| 1. | Displacement | Knot |
| 2. | Light travelling through vacuum | Geometric centre |
| 3. | Speed of ship | Metre |
| 4. | Centre of gravity of geometrical shaped objects | Larger base area |
| 5. | Stability | Uniform velocity |
Four cars A, B, C, and D are moving on a levelled road. Their distance versus time graphs are shown in Fig. 8.2. Choose the correct statement.

The displacement of a moving object in a given interval of time is zero. Would the distance travelled by the object also be zero? Justify your answer.
Obtain a relation for the distance travelled by an object moving with uniform acceleration in the interval between 4th and 5th seconds.
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.
