Question
What information about the motion of a body are obtained from the displacement-time graph?
Advertisements
Solution
From displacement-time graph, the nature of motion (or state of rest) can be understood. The slope of this graph gives the value of velocity of the body at any instant of time, using which the velocity-time graph can also be drawn.

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.
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.
