Question

After studying the motion of a ball rolling on a straight line as shown in figure calculate the distance and displacement when it roll from a to b to then c

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi mate

Explanation:

So, in first case, from A to B, distance = displacement = 10m. Now, in second case, it moves from A to B and then to C. So, we have, displacement = length of final position - initial position = length of AC. Now, distance = distance actually travelled from A to B and then to C, so it would be 10 + 2 = 12m.
