Question
From the displacement-time graph of a cyclist given below in the Figure, find The displacement from the initial position at the end of 10 s,
Advertisements
Solution
Initial position = 0 m
Final position at the end of 10 s = -10m
Displacement = Final position - Initial position
= (-10) m - 0
= -10 m

A body moves along a circular path of radius r. When it completes three complete rounds, what is the ratio of distance covered to its displacement?
The graph shows how the velocity of a scooter varies with time in 50 s.
Work out: The distance traveled in 10 s, 20 s, and 50 s.
An object covers a distance of S meters in t seconds as follows :
| S (meters) | 0 | 8 | 20 | 20 | 16 | 10 | 0 |
| t (Seconds) | 80 | 2 | 5 | 10 | 12 | 15 | 10 |
Plot a graph, taking t on X-axis and S on Y-axis. Determine the velocity of the object at time
(i) 6 s, and
(ii) 14 s.
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.
