What can you say about the nature of motion of a body if its displacement-time graph is A curve.
Define Displacement.
Give an example of a body which covers a certain distance, but its displacement is zero.
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.
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.
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.
A car travels at a uniform speed of 42 km/h. In 10 minutes, how much distance would it cover?
Give one example where the displacement is zero but the distance travelled is not zero.
