• A/RmediumKinematics Part-1 (one dimension)Distance,Displacement ,Avg speed and Avg velocity

  Evaluate the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and choose the correct option.

  Assertion

  Assertion (A): A particle starts from x = 0, moves to x = +5 m and then to x = -3 m. Its total distance is 13 m and its displacement is -3 m.

  Reason

  Reason (R): Distance depends on the actual path travelled, whereas displacement depends only on the initial and final positions.

  Options

  • Option A

    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

  • Option B

    Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

  • Option C

    A is true but R is false.

• A/ReasyKinematics Part-1 (one dimension)Distance,Displacement ,Avg speed and Avg velocity

  Evaluate the following Assertion (A) and Reason (R) and choose the correct option.

  Assertion

  Assertion (A): A particle moves from x = 0 m to x = 10 m and then returns to x = 4 m. The magnitude of its average velocity is smaller than its average speed.

  Reason

  Reason (R): The total distance is 10 + 6 = 16 m, whereas the magnitude of displacement is 4 m; both are divided by the same total time.

  Options

  • Option A

    Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

  • Option B

    Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.

  • Option C

    A is true but R is false.

  • Option D

    A is false but R is true.
