AI Generated Solution

To solve the question regarding the numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving object, we can break it down into two cases based on the type of motion: straight line motion and non-straight line motion. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Displacement and Distance**: - Displacement is defined as the shortest distance from the initial position to the final position of an object, along with the direction. - Distance, on the other hand, is the total length of the path traveled by the object, regardless of direction. ...

An object covers 1/4 of the circular path, what will be the ratio of the distance and displacement of the object ?

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 moves from A to B.
