A particle is constrained to move on a straight line path. It returns to the starting point after 10 seconds. The total distance covered by the particle during this time is 30 m. Which of the following statements about the motion of the particle is false?

A

The displacement of the particle is zero.

B

Average velocity of the particle is zero.

C

Displacement of the particle is 30'm.

D

Average speed of the particle is 3 ms.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
As particle returns to original position so its displacement is zero.
