Consider the motion of the tip of the second hand of a clock. In one minute (assuming \(R\) to be the length of the second hand), its:
1. | displacement is \(2\pi R\) |
2. | distance covered is \(2R\) |
3. | displacement is zero. |
4. | distance covered is zero. |
Three girls skating on a circular ice ground of radius \(200\) m start from a point \(P\) on the edge of the ground and reach a point \(Q\) diametrically opposite to \(P\) following different paths as shown in the figure. The correct relationship among the magnitude of the displacement vector for three girls will be:
1. \(A > B > C\)
2. \(C > A > B\)
3. \(B > A > C\)
4. \(A = B = C\)
A cat is situated at point \(A\) (\(0,3,4\)) and a rat is situated at point \(B\) (\(5,3,-8\)). The cat is free to move but the rat is always at rest. The minimum distance travelled by the cat to catch the rat is:
1. \(5\) unit
2. \(12\) unit
3. \(13\) unit
4. \(17\) unit
A particle is moving on a circular path of radius \(R.\) When the particle moves from point \(A\) to \(B\) (angle \( \theta\)), the ratio of the distance to that of the magnitude of the displacement will be:
1. | 2. | ||
3. | 4. |
|
A vector is turned without a change in its length through a small angle The value of and are, respectively:
1. | \(0, ad\theta\) | 2. | \(a d\theta, 0\) |
3. | \(0,0\) | 4. | None of these |
