When a body is thrown vertically to reach a height h before returning to Earth what is the distance traveled and the displacement?
The distance travelled is 2h (it went up 'h' and came down 'h', having travelled 'h' distance twice), and the displacement is 0 (assuming it landed where it took off from).
Name the two physical quantities which can be obtained from the velocity-time graph?
well, the area under the curve between a time interval is equal to the distance traveled on that specific time interval. So one quantity is distance. As for another quantity, the answer would be velocity, but I think they may want a less obvious answer. A quantity out side of velocity could be instantaneous acceleration. This is given by the slope of the the tangent line to the velocity-time graph. Hope this helps you answer your question. Though I think the most simple way to understanding why is to take a course of calculus.
Is it possible for a body to have average speed but zero average velocity give reason and example?
Yes it is possible. If a body goes round a circular path then distance covered by one full rotation will be 2 pi r But the total displacement is 0. Hence the average speed exists but average velocity does not exist.
Are there single displacement reactions in the body?
Not without bad consequences. These require an element in the free state. Any of those in the human body will be very bad.
What does the Cell Wall do for your body?
Nothing, only plant cells have an actual cell wall.
When is displacement equal to the distance traveled?
In case of feely falling body
How a displacement is zero when a body moves from origen and return to same point?
Displacement is a value predicated on the shortest distance between an initial and final position. If a "body" moves a certain distance and returns to its original origin it has not technically traveled any distance based on this definition. The displacement will therefore be zero
Can displacement be more than the distance traveled in a body?
no way its defined in dat way we cant alter wat our ancestors follow.....
A body is moving along a circular path of radius rwhat will be the distance traveled and displacement of the body when it completes half a revolution?
double of the radius means equal to diameter
A body is moving along a circular path of radius 'R' What is the distance and displacement of the body?
The distance is how far the object travels in total, the displacement is how far the object is from its starting position as the crow flys. e.g. if you leave your house and walk 5 miles to the shop and then 5 miles back home again. your distance traveled will be 10 miles but your displacement will be 0.
Can displacement be equal to total distance traveled by an object?
Yes,the magnitude of both distance and displacement can be same provided the body continues to travel in a straight line and in the same direction. However you should remember that displacement is a vector quantity while distance is a scalar quantity so they both can be compared only by there magnitude.
Is the distance covered by a body may be greater than a magnitude of the displacement?
yes,displacement is the shortest distance covered by a body,so distance covered by a body may be greater than the displacement.
Is the distance covered by a body may be greater than the magnitude of displacement?
yes,displacement is the shortest distance covered by a body,so distance covered by a body may be greater than the displacement.
When a body is thrown vertically to reach a height h before returning to Earth what is the distance traveled and the displacement?
The distance travelled is 2h (it went up 'h' and came down 'h', having travelled 'h' distance twice), and the displacement is 0 (assuming it landed where it took off from).
When can a body have same distance and same displacement?
Distance is equal to magnitude of displacement when the motion is in a straight line.
A body travels a distance of 15m from A to B and then moves a distance of 20m at right angles to AB .Calculate the total distance traveled and the dispalecement?
Total distance travelled = 20m + 15m = 35m Total displacement travelled=20m - 15m =5m
Give an example where displacement is zero but distance is not?
when the body moves circularly from a point 'A' to a then the displacement will be zero(displacement is the shortest diatance from the initial point to final point) and the distance will not be zero.
