What can you say about the nature of motion of a body if its displacement-time graph is A straight line inclined to the time axis with an obtuse angle?
A body is moving in a straight line and its displacement at various instants of time is given in the following table
| Time (s) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Displacement (m) | 2 | 6 | 12 | 12 | 12 | 18 | 22 | 24 |
Plot the displacement-time graph and calculate
(i) Total distance travelled in the interval 1 s to 5 s.
(ii) Average velocity in time interval 1 s to 5 s.
Write an expression for the distance S covered in time t by a body which is initially at rest and starts moving with a constant acceleration a.
Give an example of a body which covers a certain distance, but its displacement is zero.
A body is moving along a circular path of radius r. What will be the distance and displacement of the body when it completes:
`(3/4)` th of a revolution
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 |
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.
