A particle is initially at point A(2,4,6)m moves finally to the point B(3,2,-3)m . Write the initial position vector,final position,and displacement vector of the particle.

A man starts walking from a point and walks 12 kms towards north. He turns 90^(@) left and walks a distance and stopped. If the distance between initial point and final positions is 13 kms , how much distance he travelled after turning from the North?

Statement-I : If the initial and final positions coincide, the displacement is a null vector. Statement-II : A physical quantity can not be called a vector, if its magnitude is zero.

Assertion: If the initial and final positions coincide, the displacement is a null vector. Reason: A physical quantity can not be called a vector, if its magnitude is zero.

Assertion : If the initial and final positions coincide, the displacement is a null vector. Reason : A physical quantity cannot be called a vector, if its magnitude is zero.

Assertion: Distance is a actual length of the path but displacement is a shortest distance between initial and final position. Reason: Distance is a scalar quantity and it is always positive but displacement is a vector quantity. It may be positive, negative or zero.

The angle of elevation of the top of a 36 m tall tower from the initial position of a person on the ground was 60^@ . She walked away in a manner that the foot of the tower, her initial position and the final position were all in the same straight line. The angle of elevation of the top of the tower from her final position was 30^@ . How much did she walk from her initial position?

Statement I: The displacement of a body may be zero, though its distance can be finite. Statement II: If the bodt moves such that finally it arrives at the initial point, then displacement is zero while distance is finite.
