If motion is not linear then path length = magnitude of displacement.

Give difference between path length and displacement.

Explain path length.

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.

in which of the following cases of motion, the distance covered and magnitude of displacement can be same?

A cyclist travels 5km in the east direction. Then he travels 12km in the south direction. What is the magnitude of displacement of the cyclist ?

Explain with an example that the magnitude of displacement may be zero but the corresponding path length is not zero.

A wheel of 1 m radius completes half rotation on horizontal path. Magnitude of displacement form the point of contact with path initially is………

A particle goes along a quadrant of a circle of radius 10m from A to B as shown in fig. Find the magnitude of displacement and distance along the path AB, and angle between displacement vector and x-axis ?
