Take a metre scale and a large rope.walk from one corner of a basketball court to its opposite corner along its sides.measure the distance covered by you and magnitude of the displacement.what difference would you notice between the two in this case.

Expert Answer:
- This is a very inquisitive example of finding distance and displacement.
- The technique to be used is fairly simple.
- However, we will not be able to go outside our office constraints and do the exercise ourselves. It would be lovely if you could do the same and provide us the answer.
- Steps involved are:
- To measure the distance covered from one corner to the other through its sides
- To measure the distance covered from one corner to the other directly on the court
- The first will give you the distance covered and the second will give you the displacement.

- A ball thrown up vertically returns to the earth after 12 seconds. Find the velocity with which it was thrown up.
- Equation for position time relation
- Two balls are dropped to the ground from different heights. one ball is dropped two second after the other but both hit the ground at the same time if the first ball takes 6 second to reach the ground then what is the initial difference between their heights take g is equal to 10 metre per second square
- a rocket which is moving with velocity 50m/s. eject out its secondary engine and its start to accelerate with 5m/s². for next 10 seconds while entering into space. than it moves with uniform velocity. calculate this uniform velocity and the distance covered in 27 seconds. after ejection of secondary engine.
- Brake applied to a car produce a uniform retardation of 90m/s .if the car was travelling with a velocity of 27m/s.than what distance will it cover before coming to rest?
- A car is travelling with a speed of 36km/h. The driver applies the brakes and retards the car uniformly. The car is stopped in 5 seconds. Find i) Retardation of the car ii) Distance travelled before it is stopped.
