Under what conditions of motion,the distance covered by a body is equal to the magnitude of its displacement?

  • A
    When the body moves in a circular path.
  • B
    When the body moves along a straight line path without changing its direction.
  • C
    When the body moves with a constant speed.
  • D

What can you conclude about the motion of a body depicted by the velocity-time graphs $(i)$,$(ii)$ and $(iii)$ given below?

$A$ train starting from rest picks up a speed of $10\, m s^{-1}$ in $100\, s$. It continues to move at the same speed for the next $250\, s$. It is then brought to rest in the next $50\, s$. Plot a speed-time graph for the entire motion of the train and calculate:
$(i)$ acceleration of the train while accelerating,
$(ii)$ retardation of the train while retarding,
$(iii)$ the total distance covered by the train.

What can you conclude about the motion of a body depicted by the velocity-time graphs $(i)$,$(ii)$ and $(iii)$ given below?

Two graphs for the motion of objects moving along a straight line are shown. State how the speed is changing with time in both cases.

Give examples to distinguish:
$(i)$ Distance and displacement.
$(ii)$ Speed and velocity.
$(iii)$ Acceleration and retardation.
