Distance, Displacement and Position VectorDPP-01

1. A particle moves on a circular path of radius 'r'. It completes one revolution in 40 s.


Calculate distance and displacement respectively in 2 min 20 s.

(3) 7r, 2r (4) 2r, 7r

2. A man moves 4 m along east direction, then 3 m along north direction, after that he
climbs up a pole to a height 12 m. Find the distance covered by him and his
displacement respectively.
(1) 19 m, 13 m (2) 13 m, 19 m

3. A person moves on a semi-circular track of radius 40 m. If he starts at one end


of the track and reaches the other end, find the magnitude of displacement of the
person.

(1) 40 m from A to B
(2) 40 m from B to A d
(3) 80 m from B to A
(4) 80 m from A to B

4. A man has to go 50 m due north, 40 m due east and 20 m due south to reach a
cafe from his home. What is his displacement from his home to the cafe?

(4) depends upon the particle
6. The numerical ratio of distance to the displacement covered is always :–
(1) less than one
(2) equal to one
(3) equal to or less than one
(4) equal to or greater than one
