Clarify the difference.
Distance and displacement
Can displacement be zero even if the distance is not zero? Give one example to explain your answer.
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.
Define Distance.
How can you find the following?
Displacement from velocity – time graph.
A motor car slows down from 72 kmh−1 to 36 kmh−1 over a distance of 25 m. If the brakes are applied with the same force
calculate
- total time in which car comes to rest
- distance travelled by it.
Can distance covered by a body be less than the magnitude of its displacement?
A car travels at a uniform speed of 42 km/h. In 10 minutes, how much distance would it cover?
Displacement can be zero but distance never.
