Question

A particle is moving in a circle of diameter 5m. What is it's displacement if it covers one and half revolution

Open in App

Solution

The diameter of the circular path is 5 m.

It completes 1 and ½ revolution. In 1 revolution its displacement is zero. In ½ revolution it reaches a point which is diametrically opposite to its starting point. So, the displacement is equal to the diameter which is 5 m.
