An ant travels a distance of 8 cm from P to Q and then moves a distance of 6 cm at right angles to PQ. Find its resultant displacement.
Is displacement a scalar quantity?
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.
A car covers 90 km in `1 1/2` hours towards east. Calculate
- displacement of car,
- its velocity in (a) kmh−1 (b) ms−1.
Can you suggest the kind of motion of a body from the following distance – time graph?
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.
Under what condition is the displacement of a body equal to the distance traveled by it?
Name the physical quantity associated with the rate of change of displacement with time.
The table below shows the distance travelled by two vehicles A and B during each second:
| Time (s) | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| Distance travelled by A (m) | 0 | 20 | 80 | 180 | 240 | 300 | 360 | 420 |
| Distance travelled by B (m) | 0 | 10 | 40 | 90 | 160 | 250 | 360 | 490 |
At what time do A and B meet?Which vehicle is moving with a constant acceleration?
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.
