Question

A body is moving along a circular path of radius R. What will be the distance traveled and displacement of the body after quarter revolution

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

According to your question, the body moves from point A to point B thereby completing half a revolution. Since distance is the length of path covered therefore it will be equal to half the circumference i.e. 1/2 × 2pi r or pi × r. And the displacement is equal to the distance between initial and final point.

Answer 2

1. Distance travel by body is πR÷2
2. Displacement is R√2
