The magintude of displacemnt is equal to the distance coverd in a given interval of time if the particle .

A

Moves with constant acceleration along any path

B

Moves with constant speed

C

Moves in same direction with constant velocity or with variable velocity.

D

Moves with constant velocity

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

To have distance equal to magnitude of displacement. The particle has to move in the same derection. The velocity may or may not constant.

For a particle under going rectilinear motion with uniform acceleration, the magnitude of displacement is one third the distance covered in some time interval. The magnitude of final velocity is less than magnitude of initial velocity for this time interval. Then the ratio of initial speed velocity to the final speed for this time interval is :

Explain clearly, with ezamples, the distaintion between : (a) magnitude of displacemnt (sometimes called distance ) overand interval of time, and the total length of the path coverd by a particle over the same interval. (b) magnitude of average velocity over an intercal of time , and the average speed ocer the same interval. [ Average speed of a particle over an interval of time is defined as the toal path length divided by the time intrval]. Show in both (a) and (b) that the second quantity is either greater than or equal to first. When is the equality sing true ? [ For simplocity, consider one- dimensional motion only]

STATEMENT-1: When a particle move along a straight line magnitude of its average velocity is equal to its average speed over any time interval provided particle does not return to path. STATEMENT-2: For one dimensional motion displacement and distance both are same.

Assertion: The average speed of a body over a given interval of time is equal to the average velocity of the body in the same interval of time if a body moves in a straight line in one direction. Reason: Because in this case distance travelled by a body is equal to the displacement of the body.

A ball is dropped from the roof of a tower of height (h). The total distanc coverd by it in the last second of its motion is equal to the distance covered by in first three seconds. What will be the velocity at the end of 9 secind ?

Assertion: The magnitude of average velocity of the object over an interval of time is either smaller than or equal to the average speed of the object over the same interval. Reason: Path length (distance) is either equal or greater than the magnitude of displacement.

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

The ration of the distance traversed, in successive intervals of time by a body, falling from rest, are
