The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the displacement and distance traveled by a body moving along a quadrant of a circle of radius \( r \), we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Movement**: - The body is moving along a quadrant of a circle, which means it travels along a quarter of the circular path. 2. **Drawing the Circle**: - Draw a circle with radius \( r \). Mark the starting point (Point A) at the bottom of the quadrant (0 degrees) and the endpoint (Point B) at the top of the quadrant (90 degrees). 3. **Calculating Displacement**: - Displacement is defined as the shortest distance between the initial and final positions. - The initial position (Point A) is at the coordinates (0, 0) and the final position (Point B) is at the coordinates (r, r) in a Cartesian coordinate system. - To find the displacement, we use the distance formula: \[ \text{Displacement} = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2} \] - Substituting the coordinates: \[ \text{Displacement} = \sqrt{(r - 0)^2 + (r - 0)^2} = \sqrt{r^2 + r^2} = \sqrt{2r^2} = r\sqrt{2} \] 4. **Calculating Distance Traveled**: - The distance traveled is the length of the path covered by the body along the quadrant. - The circumference of a full circle is \( 2\pi r \). Since the body moves along a quadrant (which is one-fourth of the circle), the distance traveled is: \[ \text{Distance} = \frac{1}{4} \times 2\pi r = \frac{\pi r}{2} \] 5. **Final Answers**: - **Displacement**: \( r\sqrt{2} \) - **Distance Traveled**: \( \frac{\pi r}{2} \) ### Summary: - The displacement of the body moving along a quadrant of a circle of radius \( r \) is \( r\sqrt{2} \). - The distance traveled by the body is \( \frac{\pi r}{2} \).
