Read each statement below carefully and state with reasons , if it is true of false : (a) The magnitude of a vector is always a scalar , (b) each component of a vector is always a scalar , (c ) the total path length is always equal to the magnitude of the displacement vector of a particle . (d) the average speed of a either greater or equal to the magnitude of average velocity of the particle over the same interval of time , (e ) Three vectors not lying in a plane can never add up to give a null vector .

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.

A body covered a distance of L m along a curved path of a quarter circle. The ratio of distance to displacements.

The magnitude of displacement may or may not be equal to the path length traversed by an object." Explain this statement with example.

Distance is a scalar quantity. Displacement is a vector quqntity. The magnitude of displacement is always less than or equal to distance. For a moving body displacement can be zero but distance cannot be zero. Same concept is applicable regarding velocity and speed. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If acceleration is constant, then equations of kinematics are applicable for one dimensional motion under the gravity in which air resistance is considered, then the value of acceleration depends on the density of medium. Each motion is measured with respect of frame of reference. Relative velocity may be greater // smaller to the individual velocities. A particle is moving along the path y=4x^(2) . The distance and displacement from x=1 to x=2 is (nearly) :-

On an open ground , a motorist follows a track that turns to his left by an angle of 60^(@) after every 500 m. Starting from a given turn , specify the displacement of of the motorist at the third , sixth and eighth turn . Compare the magnitude of the displacement with the total path length covered by the motorist in each case.

A particle is performing SHM. Its path length is 8 cm, amplitude is 4/1 th the path length and time period 0.2s. If the particle is initially in the mean position, the time at which it will be at 1 cm will be
