is the distance traversed by a body in a particular direction in unit time.
(stationary, zero, changing, constant, displacement, velocity, speed, acceleration, stationary but not zero, increases)


Important Questions on Motion, Force and Work
Observe the figure and answer the questions.
Sachin and Sameer started on a motorbike from place A, took the turn at B, did a task at C, travelled by the route CD to D and then went on to E. Altogether, they took one hour for this journey. Find out the actual distance traversed by them and the displacement from A to E. From this, deduce their speed. What was their velocity from A to E in the direction AE? Can this velocity be called average velocity?

A | B | C |
Work | Newton | erg |
Force | Metre | cm |
Displacement | Joule | dyne |



A ball is rolling from A to D on a flat and smooth surface. Its speed is . On reaching B, it was pushed continuously up to C. On reaching D from C, its speed had become . It took seconds for it to go from B to C. What is the acceleration of the ball as it goes from B to C?


A cart with mass went in a straight line on a plain and smooth road when a force of was applied to it. How much work was done by the force?
