The displacement of a moving object in a given interval of time is zero. Would the distance travelled by the object also be zero ? Justify you answer.

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Solution

When the displacement is zero, it does not mean that distance is also zero. Displacement can be zero when the moving object comes back to its original position. Displacement is either equal to or less than distance but distance travelled is always more than zero.

Why is the motion of an athlete moving along the circular path an accelerated motion ?

easy

A body moves with a velocity of $2\, m s ^{-1}$ for $5\, s$, then its velocity increases uniformly to $10\, m s ^{-1}$ in next $5\, s.$ Thereafter, its velocity begins to decrease at a uniform rate until it comes to rest after $5\, s$.

$(i)$ Plot a velocity-time graph for the motion of the body.

$(ii)$ From the graph, find the total distance covered by the body after $2\, s$ and $12\, s$.
