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.

Statement-I : A physical quantity can be regarded as a vector, if magnitude as well as direction is associated with it. Statement-II : A physical quantity can be regarded as a scalar quantity, if it is associated with magnitude only.

Assertion: Adding a scalar to a vector of the same dimensions is a meaningful algebraic operation. Reason: The displacement can be added with distance.

Assertion: An object can have constant speed but variable velocity. Reason: Speed is a scalar but velocity is a vector quantity.

Assertion :- Work done is positive when force acts in the direction of displacement. Reason :- Work done by frictional force can not be positive.

Assertion: If a body moves on a straight line, magnitude of its displacement and distance covered by it will be same. Reason: Along the straight line body can move only in one direction.

A 100 turn closely wound circular coil of radius 10 cm carries a current of 3.2 A. (a) What is the field at the centre of the coil? (b) What is the magnetic moment of this coil? The coil is placed in a vertical plane and is free to rotate about a horizontal axis which coincides with its diameter. A uniform magnetic field of 2T in the horizontal direction exists such that initially the axis of the coil is in the direction of the field. The coil rotates through an angle of 90^@ under the influence of the magnetic field. (c) What are the magnitudes of the torques on the coil in the initial and final position? (d) What is the angular speed acquired by the coil when it has rotated by 90^@ ? The moment of inertia of the coil is 0.1 kg m^2 .

When a particle is undergoing motion, the diplacement of the particle has a magnitude that is equal to or smaller than the total distance travelled by the particle. In many cases the displacement of the particle may actually be zero, while the distance travelled by it is non-zero. Both these quantities, however depend on the frame of reference in which motion of the particle is being observed. Consider a particle which is projected in the earth's gravitational field, close to its surface, with a speed of 100sqrt(2) m//s , at an angle of 45^(@) with the horizontal in the eastward direction. Ignore air resistance and assume that the acceleration due to gravity is 10 m//s^(2) . There exists a frame (D) in which the distance travelled by the particle is minimum. This minimum distance is equal to :-
