Question

Problem 3: An object moves from point A to B to C to D and finally to A along the circle shown in the
figure below
a) Find the distance covered by the moving object.
b) Find the magnitude and direction of the displacement of the object
1 km​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The object moves one complete rotation and therefore the distance d is equal to the circumference and is given by

d = 2 Pi * radius = 6 Pi km

b) Initial point is A and the final point is A, no change in position; hence the magnitude of the displacement is equal to zero

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The object moves one complete rotation and therefore the distance d is equal to the circumference and is given by

d = 2 Pi * radius = 6 Pi km

b) Initial point is A and the final point is A, no change in position; hence the magnitude of the displacement is equal to zero
