Read the statement below carefully and state with reason, if it is true or false:
The total path length is always equal to the magnitude of the displacement vector of a particle.
पर्याय
True
False
उत्तर
This statement is False.
Explanation:
For instance, if a person completes one round along the circumference of a circle with radius R, then the length of the path covered will be 2πR, whereas the magnitude of the displacement will be zero.

Following are four differrent relations about displacement, velocity and acceleration for the motion of a particle in general. Choose the incorrect one (s):
- `v_(av) = 1/2 [v(t_1) + v(t_2)]`
- `v_(av) = (r(t_2) - r(t_1))/(t_2 - t_1)`
- `r = 1/2 (v(t_2) - v(t_1))(t_2 - t_1)`
- `a_(av) = (v(t_2) - v(t_1))/(t_2 - t_1)`
A hill is 500 m high. Supplies are to be sent across the hill using a canon that can hurl packets at a speed of 125 m/s over the hill. The canon is located at a distance of 800 m from the foot of hill and can be moved on the ground at a speed of 2 m/s; so that its distance from the hill can be adjusted. What is the shortest time in which a packet can reach on the ground across the hill? Take g = 10 m/s2.
