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 \(60\) km/h for \(1\) hour in the east direction and with the same speed for \(30\) min in the south direction. The displacement of the car from the initial position is:
| 1. | \(60\) km | 2. | \(30 \sqrt{2}\) km |
| 3. | \(30 \sqrt{5}\) km | 4. | \(60 \sqrt{2}\) km |
A particle moves along a path \(ABCD\) as shown in the figure. The magnitude of the displacement of the particle from \(A\) to \(D\) is:
1. m
2. \(10\) m
3. m
4. \(15\) m
A drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes \(5\) steps forward and \(3\) steps backward, followed again by \(5\) steps forward and \(3\) steps backward, and so on. Each step is \(1\) m long and requires \(1\) s. There is a pit on the road \(13\) m away from the starting point. The drunkard will fall into the pit after:
1. \(37\) s
2. \(31\) s
3. \(29\) s
4. \(33\) 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 \(t_0\), and then becomes constant. |
| 4. | the particle moves at a constant velocity up to a time \(t_0\), and then stops. |
The figure gives the \((x\text-t)\) 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 \(1,\) \(2\) and \(3,\) 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 \(X\) to \(Y\) with a uniform speed \(v_u\) and returns to \(X\) with a uniform speed \(v_d.\) The average speed for this round trip is:
| 1. | \(\dfrac{2 v_{d} v_{u}}{v_{d} + v_{u}}\) | 2. | \(\sqrt{v_{u} v_{d}}\) |
| 3. | \(\dfrac{v_{d} v_{u}}{v_{d} + v_{u}}\) | 4. | \(\dfrac{v_{u} + v_{d}}{2}\) |
The position of an object moving along the \(x\text-\)axis is given by, \(x=a+bt^2\), where \(a=8.5 ~\text m,\) \(b=2.5~\text{m/s}^2,\) and \(t\) is measured in seconds. Its velocity at \(t=2.0~\text s\) will be:
1. \(13~\text{m/s}\)
2. \(17~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(10~\text{m/s}\)
4. \(0~\text{m/s}\)
