Question
A particle, starting from origin at s, is traveling along x-axis with velocityAt s, the difference between the distance covered by the particle and the magnitude of displacement from the origin is _________.
Correct answer
2 to 2
Solution
1.Displacement ():
Displacement is the integral of velocity:At s, displacement m.Magnitude of displacement = m.
2.Distance ():
Distance is the integral of the speed (magnitude of velocity):The velocity is zero at and in the interval . It is positive for and negative for .3.Difference:
Difference = Distance - |Displacement| = .Continue learning with Success Tracker
