When a particle's position changes, which of the following statements is true about its displacement and the distance it covers?
1. | Both cannot be zero. |
2. | Either one can be zero. |
3. | Both must be zero. |
4. | If one is positive, the other is negative, and vice-versa. |
A car moves with a speed of 6060 km/h for 11 hour in the east direction and with the same speed for 3030 min in the south direction. The displacement of the car from the initial position is:
1. | 6060 km | 2. | 30√230√2 km |
3. | 30√530√5 km | 4. | 60√260√2 km |
A particle moves along a path ABCDABCD as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the displacement of the particle from AA to DD is:
1. (5+10√2)(5+10√2)m
2. 1010 m
3. 15√215√2 m
4. 1515 m
A drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes 55 steps forward and 33 steps backward, followed again by 55 steps forward and 33 steps backward, and so on. Each step is 11 m long and requires 11 s. There is a pit on the road 1313 m away from the starting point. The drunkard will fall into the pit after:
1. 3737 s
2. 3131 s
3. 2929 s
4. 3333 s
The figure shows the displacement-time graph of a particle moving on the x-axis. Then,
1. | the particle is continuously going in a positive x-direction. |
2. | the particle is at rest. |
3. | the velocity increases up to a time t0t0, and then becomes constant. |
4. | the particle moves at a constant velocity up to a time t0t0, and then stops. |
The figure gives the (x-t)(x-t) plot of a particle in a one-dimensional motion. Three different equal intervals of time are shown. The signs of average velocity for each of the intervals 1,1, 22 and 3,3, respectively are:
1. | −,−,+−,−,+ | 2. | +,−,++,−,+ |
3. | −,+,+−,+,+ | 4. | +,+,−+,+,− |
If a body travels some distance in a given time interval, then for that time interval, its:
1. | Average speed ≥ |Average velocity| |
2. | |Average velocity| ≥ Average speed |
3. | Average speed < |Average velocity| |
4. | |Average velocity| must be equal to average speed. |
A car moves from XX to YY with a uniform speed vuvu and returns to XX with a uniform speed vd.vd. The average speed for this round trip is:
1. | 2vdvuvd+vu2vdvuvd+vu | 2. | √vuvd√vuvd |
3. | vdvuvd+vuvdvuvd+vu | 4. | vu+vd2vu+vd2 |
The position of an object moving along the x-x-axis is given by, x=a+bt2x=a+bt2, where a=8.5 m,a=8.5 m, b=2.5 m/s2,b=2.5 m/s2, and tt is measured in seconds. Its velocity at t=2.0 st=2.0 s will be:
1. 13 m/s13 m/s
2. 17 m/s17 m/s
3. 10 m/s10 m/s
4. 0 m/s0 m/s
