Question

a body is moving along a circular path of radius R what is the distance and displacement of a body when it completes 2 and half revolution

Open in App
Solution

The body would have completed 2 circles and 1 semicircle.
When it completes 1 full revolution, then distance covered will be 2 pi R
When it completes half revolution, the distance covered will be pi R

Here, total distance = 2 cross times open parentheses 2 pi R close parentheses plus pi R equals space 5 pi R space

After 2 and half revolution, the body will be at diametrically opposite point,
thereforedisplacement = 2R
